Describing his work, Justin says, "I’m most interested in painting the singularity of a subject. This singularity and a simple design make for a beautiful painting. I call most of my work 'portraits.' Typically, a portrait is a likeness of a person but I like to broaden the definition to include many subjects. After all, I feel the subjects I paint have a personality of their own. Whether it is a row of palm trees or a single orange, they all exude a character."
