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.
“Janet, you made this process so easy for us and we couldn’t be happier with this piece. I absolutely love how it has changed the feel of this space we use so much. It’s perfect.”
“Wow. You are a tremendously sensitive and talented artist. I can’t really express how well you have captured his thoughtful spirit in his (one was always slightly higher than the other one…) eyes. I appreciate it greatly, and will treasure it, as I miss him, for always.”
“I couldn’t have chosen anyone better to capture our beloved Latte and Kobe’s expressions on canvas. They will always adorn our home and hearts. You are a very gifted artist.”
