I’ve been dabbling in portraits for about 5 years I’ve been dabbling in portraits for about 5 years now. Every time I’ve been frustrated by the outcomes. The works always come out too tight, too much detail too realistic. I was trained in hyper realistic portraits as a kid and the ability to loosen up your work is incredibly challenging for me. 

I’ve never considered myself an illustrator but I have longed to create simple portraits that still reflect the themes of my work. And I think I’ve found that in these mixed media 24k gold portraits. 

In 2018 gold began to symbolize my people - my relationships. I used my gold lifelines to show that the value in a relationship is in their person it’s in the time with them. Over the years gold has always come to symbolize relationships in my work. And so it feels right that these are completely gold portraits with ink and acrylic accents. 

These portraits are from our family vacation to the beach in October. 

Stay sweet ✌️
Studio lately the theme is: stay loose 💃 Been pla Studio lately the theme is: stay loose 💃

Been playing with the boundaries of my work and trying to get loose. I’ve felt my self and my style tighten over the years. Lately I’ve been holding on to my themes while loosening the grip on my brush. Relaxing strokes not and not blending into oblivion. Staying true to my stories but letting them float. We will see where it goes. For now it feels good. #doitfortheprocess #artistatwork #abstractartist #abstractpainting
