“When I approach a subject, I imagine myself as a journalist approaching a story before discovering a point of view. In the beginning, I maintain a pure objectivity so that it’s through the painting process that I can get to know my subject, and thus find my way to understanding. This process allows me to go beyond a straightforward documentation of “the facts,” or rendering as much detail as possible. It builds a deeper and greater compassion, despite any agreements or disagreements with my subject. It is during this emotional connection that the subject’s portrait then really comes out.
