Your work is very emotional and personal. One thing I noticed throughout all your portraits, the eyes sit very high up on the head, is this your trademark? Just makes the people seem a little deeper and intriguing. Nice.

Thank you, Alexis. I can't claim the positioning of the eyes as any kind of trademark; I suppose I'm drawn to people who exhibit this trait. They have experienced life on a deeper level -- and it shows.

I love this image. There is so much feeling in her eyes and her entire face. I notice this in many of your images you seem to connect well with what is inside each person.

This painting is incredible !!!!!! Not just that it pops as a tribute to your craft but there's a real visceral connect, that this was a real person once, not just a rendered image..
