I'm fascinated by the human form. It's why I'm so drawn to the genre of portraiture & figurative art.

​

To me, mapping the human landscape allows me to explore something unexamined about myself.

 

It's equally important that I respect the sovereign beauty within people through careful observation, and thoughtful mark making.

​

Additionally, I'm inspired by every opportunity to share ideas, and lived experiences between an artist, and her subject.

​

I prefer to take my time with portraiture studies. My drawings, sketches, and notes become a part of my visual research journal.

​

The best of my completed portraits reveals something true about each of my subjects, as well as something I didn't know about myself.
