About this Project

People-watching is a pastime in which every seeing human being has participated. We are drawn to look at others because they are attractive, or grossly unattractive. They have unusual style, features, or an air that we are envious of. We look at people to see what we would like to look like and what we are glad we do not. We look at people to see if we recognize them or can put them into context.

Viewing a wall full of my portraits gives the viewer this experience. The pieces are realistic and near life-size. The subjects of the pieces are well known individuals around town. Even if you don’t know them personally, one of them may have served you a drink or been in a band that you’ve seen. The personalities of the subjects have been captured through snarls, smiles, hats and gold teeth. Unlike a traditional, formally posed portrait, my paintings capture the grit and the beauty that is human, the essence that draws us in.
