I love to draw faces. Each face to me tells an intriguing story regardless of age, gender, race or background.

In the process of putting pencil to paper, I begin by drawing in sections/stages. Since I was a child I have always created drawings this way. I visually dissect facial features – I study them and then I put them back together like pieces in a puzzle. This method of creating helps me understand expressions and also helps me appreciate the lengthy process each portrait drawing takes.

I created an online academy with the intention to help people fall back in love with drawing again.
