"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see" 

Edgar Degas

Hello, my name is Dwayne Mitchell, I'm a professional Portrait Artist. 

I love Oils. By far my favorite medium. And I love painting portraits of people. Capturing their expressions and moods is fascinating to me. 

Art to me is capturing a moment in time that reflects a living truth about each person. It can hold a special feeling for ages and bring to memory what was going through your mind at that exact time. It can make you laugh or cry… Like watching a movie with no words. That is what I want every person to feel when they see my work.

My influences are Simmie Knox, John Howard Sanden and my Mentor Hoeu
