Hi there! I am primarily a fantasy character artist. They are portraits of individuals in their emphemeral place and time. I am not seeking to create scientifically accurate depictions. I seek to highlight the individual character’s beauty and energetic essence. Because my process is slow and meticulous, each piece brings with it a way of slowing down and paying careful attention, something that is hard for most of us to do in our distracting digital age. I have discovered that painting the intricate details of a character is a meditation that promotes a deep reverence for all individuals. Slow, careful looking gives me a chance to awaken to the beauty that is around me in everyone I see, and attending to beauty can be a transformative practice. Fully witnessing the beauty of a character will generate awe and lead to respect no matter who they are or wherre they come from. There is beauty in everyone, we need only to look to see it.
