Through my artwork, I attempt to modernize the idea of “portraiture” Wether it be my subject or the style of my portraits, my goal is to create work that is both relevant and engaging. 

Being self taught there are no rules in my artwork. I create what to me, looks good. I experiment with different materials and resources and my only concern is the result, not the method I used to get there. My portraits are about taking away judgement, and celebrating self.

My latest series “fnperfect” mixes traditional pastel and graphite portraits with contemporary acrylic paintings of women who celebrate and embrace their individuality. Some of the portraits will be very obvious as you view women with tattoos and pink hair, and some will require you to look deeper to understand what makes each woman unique. A quote from each of the women accompanies their portrait making each piece a small step into a personal journey for the artist, the subject, and the viewer.
