Having known my kitchen contractor for many years, I have come to appreciate him not only for his workmanship but also for the familiarity and trust that develop through a long-standing relationship.

In this graphite portrait, I wanted to capture his familiar expression and the individual character of someone who has become a valued presence in my life.
