As a fine artist I specialize in painting in oils and watercolors. I can bring your portraits to life, at excellent pricing you can afford. What sets my work apart is the way I present and explore my subjects in each piece. With each painting I strive to capture the essence of the figure or person I render - their gestures, poise, mannerisms, and soul, as best I possibly can. A portrait should never be a mere copy of a photograph. You can instantly tell when someone's copied a picture to create a portrait, unless the artist can bring their subject to life in the round, not just in flat two-dimensionsal space on the canvas. I see portraits for the "bigger" picture - not just creating a likeness, but also a memory that is as close as possible to the subjects. Building out a recognizable, breathing portrait from blank space on a page is where I excel, and what I love most about portraiture and painting. If you're searching for custom artwork with refined draftsmanship, please contact me. We can collaborate to bring your ideas to life.
