“Lisa Fellah”
8x10” graphite
This portrait was a gift to my mother in early 2024. I wanted the pose to portray her optimism and hope set in a softly lit, calm backdrop.
“Thibaut and Oscar”
9x12’’ graphite
This double portrait was commissioned as a birthday gift from mother to son. I loved capturing their close bond through this big hug!
“Ivy and Isabel”
9x12” graphite
These adorable girls are cousins, about one month apart. Their proud grandparents wanted a drawing hanging in their home bringing them together. Soft blends and delicate pencil marks made them come to life!
“In Loving Memory”
9x12” graphite
This portrait was presented at a wedding as a thank you gift. My client revealed it to her father as a commemoration of his late wife. This was one of their favorite memories; sharing a milkshake together.
“The Gang”
11x14’’ graphite
This triple-subject portrait depicts my aunt as she was in high school. Her two favorite friends posed with her for this breathtaking image. This drawing was a challenge unlike any other!
“Layla”
9x12’’ graphite
Layla was commissioned as a 75th birthday gift. I worked with my two clients to merge three different pictures to make this final image possible. The details of her dress were unbelievable - from the delicate folds to the ornate markings. Layla was overjoyed when she received this gift!
“Self-portrait”
6x8'’’ graphite
Every artist is required to create a self-portrait at some point in their career. Everyone who knows me associates my friendly personality and exuberance to my being. I wanted to challenge this perception and show my more private, introspective side here.
“John V.”
6x8” graphite
John is one of my oldest and best friends. We go all the way back to middle school, sharing decades of laughs, hardships, and happy memories together. John’s personality is as intense as his big heart (and beard).
“Allison”
6x8” graphite
My heart, my other half, my Allison. There is no one in this world I love more than her. I left elements of this portrait unfinished to symbolize our ever-growing relationship.
