When I started painting, my search quickly led me to the fine art of portraiture. A human face is perhaps the ultimate subject of painting throughout the entire history of art. There is an incredible beauty in every person and the goal of an artist is to capture it. Whenever I have a chance to see the works of Old Masters I try and learn from them. My goal is to create a work of art which will stand a test of time and will last in your family for many generations.
