The Mask Given Time Becomes the Face Itself

Talents are in the eye of the beholder.  So is beauty.  Whether the canvas is an art board or a human being, I love rendering personal beauty and image. 

I’ve been told my portraits capture essence, and that I don’t apply makeup I render a face.  I strive to capture that as well as the hidden biographical nuances by looking intuitively.  Working to produce a lasting personal revelation yet still keeping the photo realistic quality in the image.  Sometimes it’s like opening Pandora’s box.
