“Portraiture is more than look-a-likeness. The physical body is just one aspect of the person.  The personality is as variable as one’s color or gender or stature or morality. The outward appearance is molded by invisible inner subtle qualities - their aura. Foremost, in a person’s aura is consciousness which I think of as the spark of life in them.  This presence is the true subject of portraiture. The beautiful tree or landscape, the bouquet or bowl of colorful fruit, will not and cannot respond to the painted image they inspired - only a human can.”
