Shining Starlet Painting

I am a 37 year old artist from Norman, OK where I have lived nearly my entire life. I have spent several years studying and creating art though only began to refocus on this passion over the last year. My main medium is pen and ink though I also have experience with acrylic and watercolor paints. I have also started to branch out and test my designs in linoleum prints. My objective when I create a pen and ink piece is to try and capture the emotions and feelings of the subject(s) while simplifying the image and reducing the noise that is usually seen in traditional photographs.
