Welcome to my Collections
There are three collections to explore. As you view each painting, reflect on what emotions you experience.
Do the paintings bring back memories of your childhood; do they remind you of people you are fond of; or do they stir up hidden feelings. Notice which paintings you connect with and ask yourself why?
“Every artist dips his brush in his soul and paints his own nature into his pictures.”
Henry Ward Beecher
Every now and then I insert a pause into my portraiture work by tackling subjects that inspire my soul. I take on new challenges, learn new techniques and come back to my portraiture refreshed.
“Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter’s soul.”
Vincent Van Gogh
I believe as an artist, there is much to learn from the great masters. My reproductions are not exact copies: they are the source of my learning and the springboard for my experiments in portraiture.
“Faces are the gardens of our emotions, but our eyes are the portals to our souls.” - Richard Barrett
My portraits attempt to capture the essence of the person: what lies beyond the masks we wear in trying to cope with everyday life.
I gladly accept commissions.
