STATEMENT
I stress the importance of human emotion in my work. The portrait and human figure serve as the images and forms by which I express my reflections on life. There is a rawness to my work that I hope contributes to the nature of each “personality” on display. I want a little unattractiveness in the physical sense, and I want body language to be an important consideration in trying to understand each subject. Life is both pleasant and difficult, and I’m attempting to demonstrate both possibilities with the sensitivity and compassion we all deserve as human beings.
Ella
Ella Fitzgerald is known as The First Lady of Song for her purity of tone and perfect pitch; she was considered the most popular female jazz singer in the US for over 50 years.
