Redefining The Portrait

I'm a digital painter, creating idealized pictures of faces.
I have created nearly 50 images in the last year and a half.

Most of my paintings are around 3 square feet. The largest pieces to date are 18 square feet.

My recent work utilizes techniques that emerged from analysis of the paintings of Vermeer.
Warhol inspired the cropping and halftone shading lines.
Some of the portraits quote the visual vocabulary of PopArt and Byzantine icons.

My subjects make very specific requests as to how they should look.
I work from photos that become the template for my digital brush strokes.
All surfaces are sensitively worked to release the face from all gravity.

This digital creation is printed onto smooth gessoed canvas using the Colorspan 6000 printer,
selected for the best balance of resolution, color gamut and archival quality for my work.
The canvas is coated to provide U/V and humidity protection.
I can add triple-thick stretchers for patterned or colored edges.

I found a printer who lets me make all the adjustments myself, itÕs just quicker,
and I get a chance to personally experiment until I achieve the result I desire.

What result is that, you ask?
When my subject says "It's how I see myself when I close my eyes."
