Portraits are where my work began.
Before the larger bodies of work, before the experiments with materials, scale, abstraction, and storytelling, I was drawn to the human face. Portraiture gave me a way to study presence, personality, memory, and emotion. It became a doorway into everything else I would eventually explore as an artist.
Over the years, my approach to portraits has shifted, loosened, stretched, and evolved. Some pieces are direct and intimate. Others are layered, expressive, experimental, or somewhere in between. This collection brings together portraits from different seasons of my practice, including early works, recent pieces, and new explorations that continue to pull me back into the subject.
I still love portraits. I love the quiet challenge of trying to capture not just how someone looks, but something of what they carry. This collection is a living archive of that pursuit: old, new, and everything in between.
