Description

Excerpted from the website:

INTUITIVE PORTRAITURE
I do intuitive portraits. They are non-representational in that rather than illustrating an external likeness, they exist more like a vignette of the subject’s interior landscape. They most often manifest as a series of characters embodying influential and motivational persons or forces in the subject’s life. They frequently include details I could not have previously known about. For example: not aware of her family history, I accurately illustrated one of the characters in a subject’s portrait as an old woman, blind, with no teeth. At the post-portrait consultation, I also conveyed to her that I felt that this woman was not a biological-, but a foster-parent to her, and a smoker. She told me that the woman was – in fact – her foster-grandmother, a heavy smoker who lost her sight in her old age, and whom the subject remembers seeing most often without her dentures (it's the portrait titled "Marie" on the gallery page).
