Portraiture Collection: Celebrating Iconic Women

​

This collection brings together a series of self-initiated portraiture projects, all hand-drawn on paper and enhanced with digital elements to enrich the final compositions. Each piece celebrates inspirational, talented women from around the world—honouring their creativity, strength, and lasting legacy.  

Featured in this collection is The Cathedral Series, a trio of full-colour pencil portraits depicting three of music’s most legendary female voices: Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday. These portraits aim to capture the soul of their artistry, using traditional techniques to create a powerful, contemporary tribute.
