larger sizes upon request.

NOTE - COUPLES or GROUPS are possible but price and size minumum to be discussed separately.

TAKE A PHOTO - ¾ side view preferred but can be more angular images (head/neck/shoulders only) – can include hand but avoid profiles and straight on as these can look flat.

GOOD LIGHTING makes the best images to use – To achieve the best result the image needs to be well lit. Strong darks and lights are essential to create depth so good shadowing is needed to form the face to give depth and dimension to the piece. Selfies or cell phone images are good and can be emailed to me at their highest resolution.

I LOVE COLOR and can adjust the image in Photoshop – you can reference any past work for a color palette, but it depends in part on the original image. I can provide options before we begin.

MY TECHNIQUE combines mixed media materials that are best suited to the specific portrait making each piece unique. There is a foundation of drawing and painting, but the finished piece is part drawing, painting, and surface textile application.

PAYMENT - To begin the commission a 50% deposit is required before starting. Once completed the total amount is required to be paid on completion. Payment is available via PayPal, Zelle, Apple Pay, or check.

PACKING AND SHIPPING costs are not included. I can organize a quotation and delivery if required. The whole process will take approximately 4-6 weeks depending on size and I can share process images once a week until this is completed.

Each work is unframed for you to choose the one you like the most.
