"I've been painting portraits since I was a child, continually drawing closer to the face and eyes in order to explore the emotions they contain. There's a story behind every face; my paintings are an attempt to tell these stories by capturing delicate facial expressions and juxtaposing them with vibrant color and the dramatic interplay of shadow and light that both inform my subjects and maintain their enigmatic aura.
