Contemporary Portraits
Sometimes my portraits are of identifiable individuals, and sometimes they are 'fictional' portraits, in which the original identity becomes layered and altered with the passage of time.
I seek more than a visual, surface likeness. To paraphrase Lucien Freud, I want my portraits to be OF people, not like them. It is their essence which is of importance to me, not a photorealistic depiction.
