I recently completed a portrait of an amazing young girl called Maya, titled Sound of Music. By her mother’s description, Maya has overcome many challenges in her twleve years, all the while exuding an incredible sense of humor and beaming this contagious smile!
I thank Maya’s aunt, photographer Lisa Tricoli for inspiring me through her photographic work. I thank Maya’s mother for allowing me to create such a beautiful likeness of her child. Most of all, I thank Maya for influencing this piece through her beauty and joyful spirit…

In Remembrance…
As I have done each year since the Twin Tower tragedy in New York City on September 11th 2001, I am making prints available of the original artwork titled Speechless. This portrait was created in tribute to the firefighters and their families in the aftermath of the Word Trade Center devastation.
This year I have added a hint of color to the artwork. Below is an example of the print matted and framed.
Graphite Pencil Portrait
The original portrait style of Speechless is realism created in the traditional medium of graphite pencil. The original artwork can be viewed in detail at my official website.
High quality fine art Giclée prints are available in several sizes and preferences of art papers. The best art papers to use for artwork reproductions are a flat matte surface paper. If you are interested in purchasing a print, please visit Prints at Imagekind.
“My thoughts and prayers go out to all those touched by this day”…

As a gift, I was given a new type of pastel called Pan Pastels. What a joy it has been to work with this type of medium. These pastels are very soft and highly pigmented which lend to an oil painting-like effect. The application is very much like painting with the use of brushes, foam applicators and sponges.
With a sincere thank you to Robert Provost and his son, the introduction to my first portrait completed in Pan Pastels titled, We All Have Ghosts below.

I am very excited to add the image of this beautiful child, titled Spirited, to my online portfolio collection. This particular study is created in pastel which, I feel, works well with the overall composition. This was the last commission portrait of the year created for the Christmas holiday.
The story behind this young girl’s struggle very early in her life has greatly inspired the process of this piece, as did the influence and devotion of her mother, Nicole…
