Artist Statement
While portrait in its various flavors is my thing, it is amazing how little information I acquire about my portrayed subjects. I do not ask questions about their lives, personalities, likes, and dislikes - I simply observe. I think that the things we deal with during our lives get recorded onto our faces and I, by looking at the person for a long time during my process, am being given an opportunity to discover these recordings and to transfer them into the visual language.
