• I love the process of creating artwork, I will sometimes lose track of time and forget to eat. But as a self-employed artist, it is important to stay disciplined and profitable, so I can continue to do what I love to do. • Increasingly every year, I am more aware of how validated I feel after knowing my work has had a positive impact on another person, and it's the same for a family member as it is for a client. • I enjoy using multiple images to tell a story about a single person, or even a group of people. Showing multiple expressions of the same person, shows us more about that person, we feel we know them better, and so we feel more connected. • With regard to these multiple images of the same subject, I love the idea of of partnering with clients during the creative process. Using their image selections, we design from a blank page, to a totally unique multiple image collage with a design that best suits the subject, and is also in harmony with the client's style and taste. • After a portrait session, and after patiently retouching a person's face, I feel more "friendship" with that person. I'm surrounded by these framed portraits hanging in my studio every day. It is a gift for sure and I'm grateful. • I understand how vulnerable some people feel when being photographed, and so I've learned they need to disarm in order to have a flattering portrait. I've learned the quickest way to get them there, is for me to show the real me, to them. |
