I make figurative drawings and paintings. I work primarily from life. I love to draw and paint people line by line shape next to shape slowly bringing into clearer focus. I am constantly intrigued with the process of translating real life onto a 2D surface with graphite and paint. Unique faces, different energies and bodies, trying to capture the beauty of being alive. Problem solving on canvas and paper to reveal my subject. The smoothness of the paint while mixing colors just right. Neatly placed piles on my palette ready for my next dive in to get a closer look. Portraiture and still life are the major themes in my work.
