THE STORY:
I chose portraiture as my main focus because I love the uniqueness of each persons face and how you can create so much emotion on the canvas. The subjects eyes tell a story, the imperfections make them beautiful and their gaze holds hope or wonder for the future. Through my work, I hope to capture this and leave the audience wanting more.
