Artist Statement -



In terms of style I am a Classical Realist. I generally paint with oil, and especially like to use it for portraiture. With some paintings I begin with an imprimatura, for others I use a solid acrylic underpainting, later overpainting with transparent glazes and translucent scumbling and there are times that I paint alla prima. Using these methods, I paint landscapes, still lifes and portraits; painting my subjects from life, as it allows an intimacy that a photograph or a sketch cannot provide.

Painting portraits provides me with the opportunity to create a work of art that encompasses beauty and timelessness. I paint with the idea that one day these portraits may become heirlooms, cherished by future generations.
