The Portrait Collection: Diving Deep Into Connection

Every portrait I create evolves into a deeper reflection of my own thoughts in feelings. It shows up in each painting. It’s how I communicate those feelings I don’t have the words for.

As I created this collection of portraits over the year, I sensed the need to connect deeper with myself. Memories and negative thoughts resurfaced that I could not continue to ignore. These portraits represent the strength and vulnerability it takes to heal. They serve as a reminder that it takes courage to make emotional connection.

Self reflection helps us connect to those around us.  It helps us face our fear of emotional intimacy.  Deep down, we are all quite vulnerable.  Taking the path of facing our fears is what heals us and our relationships with each other.

You can shop the portrait collection here. In my next post I will go more in depth with my process and materials for creating these portraits.
