Portraits in Pencil and Paint

I am an artist dedicated to capturing the essence of living beings through pencil and paint. Specializing in portrait work, I explore the intricate details that define individuality while celebrating the connections that unite us all. With a focus on both real and imagined subjects, my work presents a blend of precise realism and expressive surrealism, offering viewers a chance to engage with art that transcends the ordinary.

As an artist and writer, I have been influenced by a love of mythology, folklore, and the endless ingenuity of the human spirit. I believe our stories are written on our bodies and in our body language, and I seek to capture those energies in my work. Every line, every gesture, is another installment of our individual perseverance. 

Art is the manifestation of an idea, and however it impresses upon you, if you interact with that idea, a message has been shared. Whether grief and anxiety, beauty or whimsy, mystery or wonder, pain or defiance, I believe art is a reflection of the complexity of human motivation. I seek to share little pieces of that story.
