Charcoal Drawings
Revisiting Charcoal Drawings I did my fair share of charcoal drawings in art school. I wasn’t a big fan of the dust that ended up everywhere.

Channeling My Subjects
Channeling My Subjects I’m Starting to Think Maybe I Do… I’ve often been asked if I’m channeling my subjects when I’m working on a portrait because it seems that I manage to capture a bit of their souls. I never really thought about it and often, the question amused me. I never did take it […]
