Hero Worship II
The sequel to the 2019 exhibit, Hero Worship II shifted its focus more heavily onto pop-culture icons. The 2023 presentation featured new works created with fountain pen and digitally colored to bring each character to life. The exhibition opened with a reception on February 4, 2023, on the second floor of Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment, showcasing the continued exploration of the figures who shape our cultural landscape.
Artist's Statement
The most fascinating thing that I can draw is the human face. Sometimes my portraits are loose and gestural, and other times they are more detailed and refined. I begin with quick pencil sketches, then replicate the work with brush pens and finally color the work digitally.
Many of the portraits are of fictional characters whom I idolized from television or movies while others are real people who inspired me through their own art or vision for a better world.
