Talents are in the eye of the beholder. So is
beauty. Whether the canvas is an art board or a human
being, I love rendering personal beauty and image.

My artwork has been featured on ShowTime, TV and in film, shows at Universal Studio City Walk's Hard Rock Cafe in Studio City, the famous lounge Broadner's in Los Angeles and for private events.

My portraits capture essence. I strives to
capture the hidden biographical nuances by looking intuitively.
Working to produce a lasting personal revelation yet still keeping the
photo realistic quality in the image...
