These are all people in my life: friends and family. The portraits range from quick sketches to formal paintings. I love working with images of people but due to self-consciousness (theirs and mine), it can be fraught with awkwardness and misunderstanding. When people do agree to sit for me, I am very grateful.
People often ask if I accept commissions and the answer is simply that I cannot. The commissioner, or the subject, already has a fixed idea in mind and because I could never fulfill their fantasy, I always decline. There are plenty of good portrait artists out there, who do this for a living.

I don't know of an artist who doesn't make some sort of self-portraits. The forms vary over the years. The urgency to explore one's own self in the world is irresistible. At times, it seems self-indulgent, and may well be, but at the same time is very revealing. Sometimes you are the only model available. These are arranged in rough chronological order, starting in the middle.
