Beauty is in Imperfection
What does it mean to be human? Imperfection, entirely perfect. I like not having to live with perfection. I’m not into it, for myself or for those around me. I do not want a perfect home, I do not wish for my kids to be perfect. I wish for imperfect art. In the brushstrokes of my … Continue reading

The process from … Continue reading
What was Once Familiar to You
Some would argue you end up at the right place at the right time. I am not going to argue but, if I were, I would say about the same except sometimes such bad stuff happens I cannot reconcile that anyone could be in the right place in, for example, a horrific moment. But that … Continue reading
The Essence of a Person
Everyone brings something different to the collaboration, the collaboration of life and the collaboration of portraiture. As a portrait artist, I am enchanted by this and am grateful for the experience. My goal is to freeze a moment in time that will never be captured again.
