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.
The Mask Given Time Becomes the Face Itself
