In Their Eyes

In Their Eyes is a portrait series capturing emotion, identity, and presence through the gaze of friends, acquaintances, and public figures. Each piece invites viewers to connect—if only for a moment—with the inner lives reflected in another’s eyes.

“Created entirely in Procreate, this series allowed me to work intuitively with color, texture, and detail—capturing subtle expressions and emotional nuance with a tactile, hands-on process. Illustration, especially when drawing portraits, gives me the freedom to blend realism with feeling—highlighting not just how someone looks, but how they feel to remember.”
