Collection: Unique Portraits

There’s more below the surface

As a portrait artist, my universe was never straight forward. A portrait was a leap into the unknown as I tried to do justice to my subject matter, while challenging others’ preconceptions about them. It was an opportunity to release obscure observations I made of my subject to an unsuspecting world. To bring the colours that ebb below, to the surface. An exciting and challenging task.

Perhaps that is why I half expected people to get a little twitchy when I mentioned I was working on their portrait, but strangely enough, nobody appeared overly concerned. Perhaps it intrigued them to see themselves through the eyes of a portrait artist. Perhaps it amused them to be distorted in my odd and quirky way. Whatever the reason, I enjoyed creating portraits, despite the nervous tension before I unveiled them. I never wanted to upset or offend, but I often found myself holding my breath, wondering what the response would be.

WOW…. JUST WOW! …
