 This small selection of images pertains to portraits commissioned from over one hundred clients. Subjects range from infants, toddlers, and adults to pets. I help preserve memories by creating one-of-a kind portraits that are cherished as a family heirloom to be passed down from one generation to the next. I work strictly from photographs, capturing the “essence” of the subject through subtle nuances that differ from photographs. Primarily, I work in watercolors for portraiture, but pieces in oils, acrylic, pencil, and conte’ pencil may be undertaken.
