Portraits are fascinating! The process is challenging but so exciting when the model’s face and character begin to emerge quickly from the clay.

I find myself studying peoples' bone structure, or the position of their features and how they move, when in conversation– which is very distracting for them, especially when they don’t know you very well! People often feel they should be beautiful or handsome to have their portrait done – not so! Character and their essential spirit are what make a person attractive.
