PORTRAITS PAINTED FROM LIFE
Come to New Orleans and have your portrait painted.
Stop time for a moment before your child grows up, loses that first tooth, stops painting like a kid.
Celebrate a special event--a milestone birthday, a graduation, an engagement, an anniversary, a big event . . .
Or just simply because you are here and you are beautiful and loved.
CORPORATE PORTRAITS
Celebrate a career of service with a portrait.
Thibodeaux's portraits are contemporary yet steeped in tradition and can stand in any boardroom, library, or company headquarters.
CHILDREN'S PORTRAITS
Today you are busy. There are socks on the floor and applesauce on your car seats.
But it won't be forever.
In a year these shoes won't fit. The baby curls will straighten.
Let's do the portrait this year.
For keeps.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Sarah Griffin Thibodeaux is a contemporary realist artist painting in the alla prima style--a painting done in one session wet into wet instead of layers--in the tradition of John Singer Sargent, handed down by generations of master painters.
Griffin Thibodeaux studied at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts with Auseklis Ozols and M. Dell Weller, the Art Students League in New York with Ronald Sherr and the Florence Academy of Art with Daniela Astone. She has studied with contemporary artists David A. Leffel and Jeremy Lipking. She holds a B.A. degree from Newcomb College, Tulane University, in New Orleans.
She has been painting for 30 years--portrait commissions, teaches still life and portrait and figure painting in oils at her atelier Studio Thibodeaux in New Orleans.
What folks are saying about their portraits . . .
"We absolutely love it and [our two year old] is quite pleased with it as well! "
"It's so special to have the portrait in our house and I know we'll cherish it for years to come. "
"We've hung it in the entryway to our master bedroom and it can also be seen from our living room as well! The frame is perfect for both the painting and our house. Plus, since it came framed, I was able to have it up on the wall within a few weeks of arrival as opposed to inevitably waiting a year or more! "
