Artist Statement: In an effort to best appease my satiation for making art, I have come to rely on the format of the age-old tradition of portraiture. The portrait has been steadfast in relaying the visual information that I find intoxicating and brutally honest in its placement. In many cases, with repetition and a gradual ease of reflex, I have come to the realization that it is the portrait that celebrates the existence of humankind, and it is the portrait that signifies a deeper understanding of the spirit that internalizes, and at the same time, enshrouds, all of us every single day.
