"I want my portraits to reveal a little of the story that makes each individual so very special. I have great respect for people of every age and culture. They all have stories that weave through their lives and those stories have a remarkable affect on their very countenance. People who have overcome life's sorrows to find joy in simple things have so much to contribute to the world around them. I can read their stories on their faces, and hands, and even their shoes.
