I have great admiration for the portraits of Velasquez, Rembrandt, Manet, Schiele, Sutherland, and Lucien Freud. I think portraits must be, by definition, more or less figurative, but able to communicate other aspects of the sitter than merely their physical appearance at the time of sitting. In addition, a good portrait should, by its composition and scale, excite the viewer to whom the sitter may not be known.

Do you use the same model for all your work?

No, though there are several people I've done multiple times. Typically they're people I interact with online.
