intro portraits

"You hear people say when they forget your name: I'm not good with names, I'm better with faces.
If you talk to someone, you look at someone's face. This is a ramble of which you do not need to be aware.
From brow to nose to mouth to cheek, from cheek to eye, eyelid to forehead, hair. Thus you form an image of someone.
I draw that experience of watching faces, and give others the opportunity to participate and to watch this event happening in time.
My portraits are a means to an end; to show the face of human nature, rather than a lifelike representation of the appearance of a particular person."
