I am a Toronto-based artist specializing in graphite and charcoal portraiture. My work focuses on women, blending the timeless techniques of academic realism with contemporary feminine subjects. Each drawing represents not only the subject’s likeness, but her unique experience and internal world - a fleeting moment, a quiet smile, deep introspection - the nuance of emotion that can only be captured in a face. I aims to portray the beauty, experience and depth of women by merging classic realist techniques with thoughtful compositions and the expressive qualities of the media used.
