The Portrait Conversation is a portrait in words and paint, a monthly free live-cast streaming Zoom webinar, an in-depth, inspirational long-form live interview show combined with a cool artistic twist in which I paint my subject’s portrait as well as converse with them about their life, path, influences, inspirations and creative process. My goal as host, artist and conversationalist is to take everyone on a journey with the subject and get to know and understand them at a deeper level than happens with casual conversation. While the conversation unfolds I typically use my iPad using an Apple Pencil and the Procreate app to sketch them, sharing the process and progress of the portrait with the audience as it evolves.
