"Having spent many years in portraiture, I decided to turn my artwork and studies towards Child Portraiture. Child portraits were always something that I marvelled at as a young girl - I was fascinated at the realism of a face staring back at me from a piece of paper - how someone could create from scratch, a child portrait was remarkable.

As time went on, I discovered that drawing and studying children was not going to be as easy as I had thought.

To achieve a realistic life-like child portrait with the elasticity and fullness in the skin was something that required alot of practice and a constant road in discovery in new ways of working.

Child Portraiture really was a skill that required the understanding of the medium I were to work with in order to be able to achieve Child Portraiture of a high level. I found developing child portraits was fascinating.

After time and development, I exerted myself to excel in Child Portraiture and am now continuing to thrive in the satisfaction and fulfillment of creating the portraits of children."
