THE MEDIUM

Portrait Narratives began very naturally for me. I have always looked at faces and sensed there was something unspoken there, something just beneath the expression.

A photograph may show a smile, but I would see atmosphere around it, a moment, a memory, a relationship, a sense of who the person is.

Portrait Narratives began very naturally for me. I have always looked at faces and sensed there was something unspoken there, something just beneath the expression.

A photograph may show a smile, but I would see atmosphere around it, a moment, a memory, a relationship, a sense of who the person is.

Over time, I realized I was not interested in simply making faces more beautiful. I was interested in revealing the story that seemed to be waiting inside them.

That is where my work begins, with the face, the feeling and the quiet narrative just beneath the surface.

THE MEDIUM

Before working digitally, I painted directly on canvas.

I worked with acrylic paints, brushes, sponges, palette knives and my hands, building each surfaces slowly, layer by layer.

That physical relationship with paint still guides my work today.

Before working digitally, I painted directly on canvas.

I worked with acrylic paints, brushes, sponges, palette knives and my hands, building each surfaces slowly, layer by layer.

That physical relationship with paint still guides my work today.

Even though my tools have changed, I still think like an artist. I think about surface, texture, atmosphere, light, shadow and restraint.

The digital process allows me to move between photograph and painting, preserving the truth of the subject while creating a world around them that feels timeless, intimate and refined.

I do not want the work to feel like an effect placed over a photograph. I want it to feel considered, layered, and quietly alive.

The tools have changed.

The vision has not.

THE PROCESS

To me, a face is never just a face. There is a history there, something beneath the expression, something unspoken.

I begin by searching for the emotional center of the image. A photograph may show a smile, a posture, or gesture, but I look for the quiet presence underneath it; the memory, the relationship, the life inside the subject.

To me, a face is never just a face. There is a history there, something beneath the expression, something unspoken.

Once I find that, everything else is built around it, the palette, the background, the softness, the light, the restraint.

When a written narrative is included, it adds another layer. Sometimes the image tells one part of the story, while the word gives voice to what remains unspoken.

together, image and narrative create something fuller, visual emotional, and deeply personal. There is more here. There is life here. There is a story to enter.
