"I work in a realistic style that draws on my studies in
atelier painting techniques to create contemporary works that have been
described as evocative and engaging. I am especially inspired by the
works of Velasquez, Sargent, Sorolla and Beaux.
To me, every image is a narrative: not only genre scenes, but
every still life and portrait, as well. Sometimes the story is obvious,
sometimes it is enigmatic. Often the story that emerges with one of my
paintings surprises me. With portraiture, I strive not only to capture the
likeness, but to find the "story": the spark of personality, the
force of experience and the promise of things to come. Like a story, I
believe a painting is only completed with the engagement of the viewer.
I believe the primary goal of any painter should be to create
beautiful images, no matter what the message." - Janine Kilty
