“Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!” - Bram Stoker, Dracula. This is an acrylic portrait of Bram Stoker, painted on the opening words of his classic Gothic Novel. My current project is my largest yet; working from a timeline of literary movements since the 1800's, I am painting the portraits of authors who have written some of the greatest works in literary history. It is a journey from the Romantics to High Modernism, from great Philosophy to ground-breaking Science. This is a series that celebrates those whose words and ideas have touched and inspired generations with their artistry and imagination.
