I am continuously working to challenge myself and improve my artistic achievements.  I am intrigued by the play of light and shadow throughout nature particularly on the human form.

I consider TFCD work if you fit into a specific project or believe that our work together will enhance my portfolio. 

While I appreciate all the Friend Requests, it would be nice for you to communicate either via a tag or comment so I have some idea of why you are sending me a Friend Request.

Thank you.
