Your Art. Customized for You.
I would be thrilled to work with you to create art specifically for you or your client's space.
I am currently accepting bookings for painted portraits of all kinds: land, home, pets, and meaningful things. I limit the number of commissions I take on to ensure I can dedicate adequate attention to each client project.
While I prefer to work from my own experience and images, I will happily consider using your images, particularly from that memorable trip and for posthumous portraits.
I can come to you to capture images, like I did for Joanne and Rick’s treasured place, and for pet portraits or other meaningful subject. Even on-site sketching and painting can help inform a final painting to fit your heart’s desire.
Consultation
This is where I will get to know what you want. We will start to talk about the subject matter, sizing, resource materials, and possible photography sessions. If this will be for a gift, I'd like to learn what you believe will be important to express in the art for the recipient of your gift.
Design
Based on the consultation and resource materials, I will create a digital or hand-made sketch(es) to give you a general idea of the direction I would head. As appropriate, I can show you different size options in your space for your preferred option. We can discuss framing options, too.
Creation & Delivery
I will use the sketch(es) as a starting point, leaving room for creative flow in the work. I will give you an opportunity for viewing and minor tweaks before finalizing the piece. When your art is dry (typically 4 to 6 weeks for oil paintings), I can deliver and hang the art for you, ship it to your door, or you can pick it up at my studio.
