My current work concentrates on glorifying snapshot imagery by altering and recreating it in acrylic paint to extrapolate the honesty found in snapshot portraits. It is my belief that genuine character is readily captured in candid digital photographs, and my attraction to such expression has led me to create works that give importance to this imagery. I often recreate these images at a bold scale, and in hyperrealistic detail to bring forth a liveliness and sincerity. These images reveal an intimate moment in time that refuses to last, otherwise. By giving an insight, stories emerge from the images. My intention is that no image is posed, and that the final image is an elusive and real expression.
