I had a great opportunity to work with a young lady that wanted to experience my Perspective Sketch™ from afar. She contacted me via my web site and asked if I could sketch her mother. After a few weeks we set-up a remote interview using Skype™. My interview lasted less than an hour and I was able to gather a lot of information about her mother. In the end, when she saw the sketch, she was amazed at how much of her mother she saw in the sketch. She was very pleased with the entire experience and she couldn't wait to share her special gift with her mother.
Filming on the Real Beauty Sketches campaign in 2013.
My Perspective Sketches™ created an internet sensation with the Real Beauty Sketches™ campaign of 2013. I was asked to interview someone about how they perceived themselves and then compare that sketch with another interview from someone who had met this person–all while not able to see them and collaborate with them on the sketch. The results were dramatic in almost every instance and contributed to the worldwide conversation about how real beauty can create anxiety. I believe in the message to create a world where beauty is a source of confidence and not anxiety.

It’s beautiful, I can see my mother in it. Thank you so much, it really touched my heart.
