"A posed photograph of a person can capture that moment in time. A portrait from life betrays the human soul".
Sitting for a portrait for a great length of time, the subject has time to think and reflect while remaining perfectly still. The unconscious flickers of the eyes, the tilt of the head, the resting place of the muscles in the face - all comprise the person behind the pose.

This category represents Josephine's desire to never rest on one's laurels. Although an accomplished artist worldwide, she wanted to keep honing her skills with the human condition shining through portraiture in real-time. Josephine decided to join a 'life art' class to paint individuals from exactly that ...... LIFE. From that exercise, we see her wonderful array of portrait studies in human nature. Josephine's artistic analysis betrays the powerful emotion behind the eyes and the emotion subconsciously betrayed on each model's face.
