How to commission a custom painting

  • Portraits

    I paint people of all ages and groups, as well as historical ‘vintage’ portraits. The paintings are based on photos or drawings and hand-painted using water-soluble oil colors on canvas or wood. They can commemorate individuals, family and friends, ancestors, moments in time, celebrations, and today.

  • Landscapes

    I create landscape paintings of different places in the world from life or photos. These settings are part of our everyday lives, homes, or locations farther away. I work with people to design a painting that portrays their connection to a place that is special to them.

  • Pet Portraits

    I design paintings of animals in different styles – traditional pet portraiture, decorative mixed media paintings, and childlike vignettes. They are hand-painted on canvas or wood and based on client photos or drawings. I enjoy working with people to portray an image of the animals and pets that are dear to them.
