This online exhibition (still under construction) includes a series of portrait paintings coming out of my studio done in the style of Paris and France.  Paris art has it's own unique aesthetic.  The Parisienne aesthetic is very unlike anywhere else in the world.   As an American expressionist, I will always call Paris "My home".   Here in America, I've developed a unique style of art that combines a creative process using my imagination, my life experience, particularly my time in Paris and France, and lots of lots of paint.   So many artists have already done realistic portraits.  My goal here was to bring you the viewer into my studio and let you see the phases of a painting and celebrate the process as much as the completed work of art.  These portraits are bold and yet also reveal tenderness, vulnerability as a form of inner "strength."  Enjoy the show!
