Commissioned Artwork That Tells Your Story
Whether celebrating a beloved companion, honoring the bond between people and animals, or preserving a treasured memory, I create custom artwork that captures the relationships, stories, and moments that matter most.
More Than a Portrait
Art has the ability to preserve more than appearance—it preserves memory, personality, and emotion.
Many of my commissioned pieces have been created to honor beloved pets, celebrate important relationships, commemorate treasured experiences, or capture a moment worth remembering.
Every commission begins with a conversation about the story you want the artwork to tell. Working from your photographs and ideas, I create original artwork designed to become a lasting keepsake for you and your family.
Available Mediums
Each medium offers its own unique qualities and artistic possibilities. Whether you are drawn to the rich texture of mosaic, the timeless elegance of graphite, the vibrant detail of colored pencil, or the softness of watercolor, together we can select the approach that best reflects your subject and the story you wish to preserve.
Mosaic Portraits
Each mosaic commission is individually designed using hand-cut glass and mixed media to capture the personality, character, and spirit of the subject. The unique textures, depth, and luminous qualities of mosaic art create a one-of-a-kind artwork that is both expressive and enduring.
Graphite Portraits
Graphite portraits emphasize detail, texture, and subtle expression through the timeless beauty of black and white. These elegant drawings capture the distinctive character, personality, and quiet presence of each subject.
Colored Pencil Portraits
Colored pencil portraits offer exceptional detail and rich, luminous color. Each piece is thoughtfully created to preserve the personality, warmth, and unique qualities that make every subject unforgettable.
Watercolor Portraits
Watercolor has a spontaneity and softness all its own. When paired with the right animal subject and reference photograph, it beautifully captures movement, grace, personality, and the essence of a moment.
