Raven

"Raven" captures a moment of contemplative upward gaze, with the subject's face beautifully illuminated by a soft light that accentuates the curves and textures of her lips and skin. The dark, wavy hair frames her face, contrasting with the ethereal glow that highlights her expressive eyes. The play of shadow and light creates a striking visual depth, conveying a sense of introspection and wonder.

I create portrait art on canvas with oil paint. Carefully I observe, then slowly sketch form and outline. Then add colour, depth and contrast.

I want to attract the viewer with a likeness which is familiar and recognisable. Then keep the audience searching for character, personality and energy.

There is such a challenge in portraiture. There is such a thrill to see lines, strokes and colour transform into human form. I’m inspired by identity, story and temperament coming to life in art.

I want to create artwork which catches your eye, that you can’t stop looking at.
