Mixed Media Using Graphite and Charcoal on Vellum Paper Board ; 4 pieces. Artist's Statement: My only inspiration for drawing realism portraits is to capture the subjects' expression. This is what my heart and mind desire to create and for people to be entertained. Human emotions inspire me to create artworks that can secretly communicate. Emotions are better than words. Humanity is amazing and that is why I like secrets and codes because the mind can create an infinite number of different stories that give an artwork its value.
