With this portrait of my dear friend and fellow artist, Jamie Preisz, I aimed to convey a feeling of vulnerability. His facial expression speaking volumes, a moment captured with a sense of fragility, like the crumpled form that his image makes up on the canvas. Jamie, like many artists, no matter how strong and thick-skinned, become vulnerable when we open ourselves up to criticism.

I owe a lot of my current knowledge and approach to my own artistic practice to Jamie, and I firmly believe he is, not only an invaluable mentor to myself, but to many others.
