My work is a reflection of me, what I see, what I feel - ultimately I try to recreate the wow factor. My journey began as a teenager with commissioned pencil portraits of a partner, a child or a pet. It was a safe medium, a way to copy a photograph. The pressure was immense, for me I was simply reproducing an expression or look in someone’s eyes, copying their hair and pencilling a smile. I was simply copying what I saw onto paper. (read more about the artist in Artistry magazine)
