Illuminated Portraiture

Each portrait examines a state of transcendence, play, bliss, or celebration, often illuminated with a freestyle painting technique that symbolizes our interconnection. The intricately woven colors and forms are inspired by street art and the ancient knot work found in illuminated manuscripts.
