it feels right
Let's talk details . . .
Schedule a meeting with the artist to talk about your portrait. (free!) This is when we review all the options about size and pricepoints and then talk details about size, pose, background, clothes, frames--and most importantly, when you will sit in person!
We will review the process, pricing, and you will receive an estimate to confirm, which you can hold for a year!
Then if you are ready to go, a deposit is required to hold your place and schedule sittings.

what people 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! "
