Artist's Statement
Each human face is a miracle, an incarnation. Each child is a gift, fearfully and wonderfully made. Each pet is a best friend, a beloved companion. Through my portraits I try to echo a sense of the soul before me, of his or her innate dignity, grace, beauty. Each work strives to fix the evanescent moment in the timelessness of memory.
