YOUR MEMORY, PAINTED
Some memories deserve more than a photograph. I create original paintings from the people, places, pets, and moments that hold special meaning to you.
Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, honoring someone you love, remembering a beloved pet, or creating a meaningful gift, each commission is painted personally with care and attention to the story behind it.
A PAINTING WITH PERSONAL MEANING

Turn a favorite moment from your wedding day into an original painting you can treasure for years to come.
PEOPLE & FAMILIES
Capture the people you love in a personal work of art, whether it’s a family portrait or a meaningful moment shared together.
PETS
Celebrate a beloved companion with a one-of-a-kind portrait created from your favorite photograph.
PLACES & MEMORIES
Preserve a special home, landscape, travel destination, or place that carries a meaningful memory.
FROM YOUR IDEA TO THE FINISHED PAINTING
HOW IT WORKS
01 — SHARE YOUR IDEA
Tell me about the person, pet, place, or moment you’d like to turn into a painting. You can share photographs and any details that are meaningful to you.
02 — DISCUSS THE DETAILS
We’ll talk about the size, style, composition, timeline, and other details of your painting.
03 — I CREATE
Once everything is agreed upon, I begin creating your original painting with care and attention to the details that make it personal.
04 — YOUR PAINTING IS COMPLETE
Your finished artwork is carefully prepared and ready to become part of your home, or given as a meaningful gift.
MORE THAN A PORTRAIT
A commissioned painting can preserve something a photograph cannot, the feeling, atmosphere, and personal story behind a moment. It becomes an artwork that can live in your home and be treasured for generations.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can you paint from a photograph?
Yes. Clear reference photos help me understand the subject and create a painting that feels personal to you.
Can I commission something that isn’t shown in your portfolio?
Absolutely. Share your idea, and we can discuss the possibilities.
What mediums do you work with?
I work in oil and acrylic on canvas, or markers and soft pastel on paper.
How much does a commissioned painting cost?
Pricing depends on the size, medium, subject, and complexity. For example, a 5 × 7 inch marker illustration of a pet starts at $100. Each commission is unique, so please contact me for a personalized quote based on your ideas and preferences.
How long will my painting take?
The timeline depends on the medium, size, and complexity. I’ll provide an estimated timeline before confirming the commission.
Is framing included?
Framing is quoted separately. Soft pastel artwork requires protective framing to help prevent smudging.
