A sweet humility is nesting inside me. A peace I never even knew existed, climbs on my old, fisty ways, like ivy on a castle wall.In all my restlessness, and uncertainties, it sometimes feels as if I am abruptly walking into a cloud of reassurance.

Sketching someone's features is a deeply intimate process and it bonds me with the model. I get to swim in their expressions and see their features coming to life. I draw their stillness while imagining the movement behind it. Meet a beautiful stranger, a Hawaiian woman I caught a glimpse of when watching last year's … Continue reading Wahine

A raw, sunburned beauty, with a ragged dress, stepping barefoot along with the polished shoes that visit her from the city.This girl never wanted to grow up but stayed wild and free of any sign of progress.Bathing herself in wine and … Continue reading The land of the mirabelle trees
About All Sorts of Loves
