PORTRAITS OF FASHION

Large Portraits in Oil on Linen

In my oil portraits, I explore identity and self-expression by tracing the enduring conversation between fashion and art history. Fashion has long served as a visual marker of status, culture, and personality in portraiture—communicating not only the subject’s individuality, but also the social and political landscapes of their time. By drawing from traditional painting techniques, I situate my work within this lineage, honoring the craftsmanship of the past while engaging with the complexities of the present. With direct and indirect approaches to painting I am able to build depth, luminosity, and texture in my work, capturing both the physical and emotional layers of my subjects.

This Series is an ongoing event.

I worked as a womenswear designer for over 30 years and kept painting simultaneously. This work is a natural progression for me.

Additional subjects are in work.
