The non-digital, but nevertheless "interactive process" of creating the character paintings starts with a collaboration with the model selecting a subject from, history, literature, or mythology. Using loosely interpreted & improvised costuming, the paintings are double portraits. Capturing the live actor/individual is parallel in importance to revealing the subject of the enactment.
This series is usually painted in acrylic on 42” x 30” mylar, a synthetic, slightly transparent graphic arts medium.
