ABOUT THE ARTIST

A little over three years ago, I started
drawing. I was at a crossroads
professionally and didn’t know what I was
going to do, so I prayed to God for direction
and within the next few days, I found a
pencil in my hand.
Working in the genre of realism, I still like to
add something unique to the portrait or
scene I’m drawing. Something that is not
quite supposed to be there in hopes that
the viewer can take a moment to be
present, and in that moment feel a
connection to something greater. In almost
all of my portrait work, I capture the sitter up
close. I think it comes from an acting
background. When the lens is up close you
can see the truth, and that is something that
I’m always searching for in my work.
