CREATIVE STATEMENT
I’ve been drawing people, and especially portraits, since about age ten. As an illustrator who specialized in portraiture, I’ve actively honed my skills in doing them, but more than that, I simply love faces so much that I can’t help but draw them. To me, a successful portrait conveys the essence of a person, which comes from all the lovely subtleties that allow us to imagine who they are inside. Even in my comedic drawings, I attempt to draw three dimensional characters who are relatable and—like most of us—a little quirky.

Q&A
Which of your portraits is a personal favorite?
A (very stylized) self-portrait/cartoon of myself as a 6-year-old girl with my favorite doll sitting on my great grandparent’s house on Christmas Eve. It’s sweet and funny and reminds me of some of my happiest family holidays.
What is the most important feature to capture?
The spark inside a person. It doesn’t show itself the same way in everyone.
What would your dream project be?
A gallery exhibit of eccentric women with their pets, highly stylized.
