About This Work

I have always loved portraits; you really get to see someone in a different light when you draw them. In this particular piece I wanted to try and create harmony between 2D and 3D, find a new approach to the portrait and explore what being a figure taking up space looks like. More than anything though I just wanted to play with some of my favorite drawing mediums (pencil and pastel) and work with my hands too! I’ve always loved the more tactile quality of crafts, which building the frame, 3-D accents, and cutouts allowed me to do. At the end of the day it's all about mixing things up and having fun with it!
