"I have always loved painting and have produced a few each year since my teens. I started painting full time in 2022. I am completely in love with the art. Nothing brings me more joy than painting daily."
Realism Painting is the authentic portrayal of the everyday. It encompasses detailed portraits, landscapes, still life, and everyday scenes. This is why I work on many different themes. Perspective tends to be traditional. I love pattern, so I often work that into my themes.
I don't strive for photorealism, but I definitely employ a degree of realistic accuracy.
I don't strictly stay in this lane, but I always go back to it. It's what I relate to.
The story I portray is my own.
