CPSA DISTRICT CHAPTERS AWARD FOR EXCEPTIONAL ACHIEVEMENT

Sponsored by: Colored Pencil Society of America District Chapters Artist Statement

As a portrait artist my inspiration is drawn from my subjects and their hidden emotional truths. Working with a limited palette, I can concentrate on the forms, values and shadows to help tell a compelling narrative story. I invite the viewer to take a step closer to each drawing and realize my narratives create a mood through beautiful brushed textures and tones.
