| Sketching faces has been a preoccupation and fascination of mine since early childhood. I copied faces from magazines, record covers, live models, (usually friends and family) or from an unsuspecting teacher or a person in a public area. |

Painting someone’s portrait is a profound and moving experience for me. As I study and paint the lines and features of a face, I try to capture some of the essence of that person that makes him/her unique. |
| Recently I have been drawn to the faces of people who have suffered losses. Unfortunately, because of war and natural disasters, there are many photos of such people in the newspapers. All people in every part of the world wear the expressions of fear and loss. This is what we have in common. It is with great respect that I paint them. |
