We may not all make history, but each of us makes his story or her story, your story, my story and ultimately - our story - the ongoing story of humanity.
We all matter to those we love and who love us. Within the circle of family, friends, work and career we each make a unique contribution and no one who connects with us is untouched by that connection. We all make a difference. Each of us matters and we all have a story that deserves to told. So much of that story is in our faces, to be read now and down the generation to come.
This is what portraits seek to capture and that is why I paint them.
