Having the opportunity to meet a full time, professional artist with over 50 years of experience was a life changing event for me. I pursued a career as a professional portrait artist after meeting world renowned portrait painter, Joe Bowler. My goal is to paint a timeless work of art that will last for generations to come. I’m a commissioned portrait painter who specializes in capturing a person’s unique personality, character and likeness on canvas. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. This resulted in not only 23 years of hands on instruction in the art of portraiture, but also forged a lifelong friendship. With this in mind, I continued to pursue as much instruction and inspiration from Joe Bowler that I could. The art of portraiture was not a course that was being taught in art schools, but primarily relied on being passed down from a mentor to a student, just as it had been for centuries. It was a profession that had been around for centuries, but was still thriving today. From that first, initial meeting, I realized that there was a great demand for hand painted portraits on canvas and the artists who worked in that field. Years later, as a student in college, I had the opportunity to meet Hall of Fame Illustrator and world renowned portrait painter, Joe Bowler. She was my first inspiration when it came to the idea of being a full time artist and making a living at something that you loved to do. I was always amazed at how she could take a piece of white illustration board and transform it into a beautiful work of art. She would often let me observe while she worked on a drawing for a product that she was illustrating. My grandmother was a commercial artist who always encouraged me to pursue that dream. I’ve always had a desire to want to be an artist, even as a young child at the age of three.
