Creating art has become an essential part of my life and wellbeing. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 34, and that experience has helped me understand why I have always been drawn so strongly to drawing and portraiture. I find that art is the one activity that truly calms my mind and allows me to focus completely. When I work with charcoal and graphite, the noise of everyday life fades away and I am able to enter a state of concentration and balance that is difficult to find elsewhere.
My work is centred on portraiture and realism. I am fascinated by expression, emotion, and the subtle details that make each subject unique. Through charcoal and graphite, I aim to capture not only a likeness but also a sense of presence and feeling. I enjoy the discipline and patience that realistic drawing requires, and I take great care with tone, texture, and detail in every piece I create.
I would love to sell my work on Artfinder because I admire its support for independent artists and its appreciation for original, handmade artwork. I want to share my portraits with people who connect with realistic art and who value the time, care, and emotion invested in each drawing. Selling through Artfinder would allow me to reach a wider audience, continue developing my artistic practice, and build meaningful connections with collectors around the world.
For me, art is both a creative passion and a form of calm and clarity. My hope is that the portraits I create bring a sense of connection, emotion, and quiet reflection into the homes of those who choose to live with them.
