Amanda Seyfried. What’s not to love about this incredibly beautiful actress. The amazing thing about this portrait, is that because it is so deconstructed.. she can be whomever the viewer wishes her to be. I was really able to express my playful yet precise brush work in this piece. The possibilities were endless and I love that freedom. For me, freedom of expression can be very intimidating, but is very necessary to my practice. My reward is liberation and trust in my own ability to create something beautiful through organized chaos. Oil on canvas 48″ x 48″
Like most artists, my career began as a childhood obsession; An insatiable urge to replicate on paper what I saw with my eyes. My parents, wise enough to see this within me, enrolled me in private art classes in my early adolescent year. After 3 years of private instruction, my desire and progress led me to study for 5 more years at Hugo Naude Art Center in Worcester, South Africa.
After graduating, with a new disciplined approach, I felt compelled to pursue structure. Namely, facial structure. So I drew face after face, and attended many live-model classes. After a while, my own perspective began to emerge in my otherwise purist portraiture constructions. This of course came from confidence emboldened by years of disciplined construction.
Flashing forward a few years, and a handful of domestic and international exhibits, I am now coming full circle as an artist with my own unique, creative sensibilities-and a portraiture constructionist.
My new work captures the subjectivity of shape abstraction and color relationship, along with the disciplined objectivity of human portraiture.
