I am interested in the profound challenge of translating a living, moving, three-dimensional person into a two dimensional painting. My focus is putting one piece of paint next to another on the canvas, working with close value and color changes to chase the light and achieve not an academic likeness or a copy, but rather an image that reveals the history of the painting and, hopefully, communicates something about the person being painted.
