ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My approach to portraiture is varied, just as my portrait subjects are unique and distinguished from one another. I approach the work with a method that I feel reflects the nature of the subject and which will portray the sitter in a context determined by the subject’s own perception of themselves. My technique is reasonably loose, but sufficiently defined to reflect a likeness of the subject.
