I am a portrait painter currently living and working in Hollywood California.

I am here to find models to photograph as reference for my figuritive paintings. I would consider my portraiture work documentary fiction. I am interested in showing more than the surface of a subject and working to pull out meaningfull aspects of who they are as a person without telling too much. I think a good painting should leave the viewer with more questions than answers but deeply imprint a specific mood to which the viewer creates their own narrative.

Although I am a painter I have extensive knowledge of photography and lighting. Please contact me if you like my work and interested in collaborating on a shoot.
