Portrait Commissions
Hi Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.
A portrait painting is such a compelling, timeless, type of art – it is a way to capture and express a person’s unique spirit. I am passionate about creating pieces that are not only beautiful, but deeply personal and meaningful to my clients.
I work exclusively in oil paints, use time-tested materials and strive for excellence in every aspect of my work.
Creating a portrait is a collaborative process and I take great care to develop a vision with you for the final painting. See my three types of portraiture below.
If you are interested in commissioning a portrait I would be honored to work with you to create a unique work of art that you will enjoy and appreciate for years to come.

Large Contemporary Portraiture
Classical Techniques with a Bold Contemporary Composition
These larger-than-life, square, tightly cropped portraits have a strong contemporary social media style influence. They’re exciting and fresh with savvy urban art gallery quality. Let’s create a portrait that’s so beautifully classical, but with this compositional twist. A portrait like this will not go unnoticed.
Beautiful. Bold. Contemporary. Compelling.
Visual Biographies
Visual Story Telling with Personal Symbols & Iconography
My Visual Biographies are a deep take on portraiture and personal story telling. A visual biography is designed to portray specific aspects of your personal history and character – beyond just your personal likeness.
The process is unique, requiring a couple of in depth interviews and on site photo session for reference. The interviews are designed to understand your personal history and the relevant archetypes and symbolism, pose and wardrobe considerations that speak to important aspects of your life’s journey.
Imagine yourself and story as a compelling advertisement!
Traditional Portraiture
Celebrate your loved ones with a unique work of art. Commissioned portraits are painted to last generations, using archival oil paints on panel, canvas or linen.
My playground is at the intersection of paint and ideas. To connect with others through art is one of my greatest joys.
