Nadine

I’ve been blessed have a few great friends in my life.
That friend who is always there for you. In times of 
frustrations, counsel and support. Helping you through 
the thick and thin’s of life. That credit goes to Nadine Nakanishi. Early in my career, as art director for 
KHJ9 network, she took a chance hiring me as a freelance artist. It was the beginning of a long time-die 
hard-good friendship ever since. We attended the same high school and were both members of Creative Source Art Studios in Hollywood, CA. This portrait is an aatempt to 
capture her infectious childhood smile she seems to easily 
wear so well.
