ARTIST STATEMENT
Although my portraits capture the likeness of the person or pet I'm painting, I don't attempt to create portraits that look like photographs. Instead, I let the personality and characteristics of the subject I'm painting guide my decisions. I bring my own style and ideas to the paper using color, brushstroke and composition to create mood and emotion. My greatest reward is to complete a portrait that captures not only the likeness of the person or animal, but more importantly, their unique personality.
