Dirce Kennedy
“We are profoundly unique.”
“To capture and share that uniqueness through my brushes is why I paint portraits. Something magical happens as a subject emerges onto a canvas.”
Dirce’s love of Portraiture galvanized by drawing, painting, studying, traveling and encountering painters such as Warhol, John Singer Sargent, Alex Katz, Lucien Freud, Renoir, and her artist father.
Dirce deeply appreciates that a portrait painting is an exceptional opportunity for viewers to slow down and experience a genuine connection with the subject.
Her commissioned portraits are steadfastly sensitive to her client’s needs. Dirce works comfortably from live poses, a photograph, or a combination. She creates portraits to be cherished now and for generations to come.
