“I try to convey through my paintings, something emotional that connects with the viewer, a feeling that is timeless. I am greatly moved by light and shadow, and find inspiration all around me - from the shaft of light glowing through an interior, to the sparkle of light dancing through the leaves on a Summer day. I try to convey that feeling, of seeing the extraordinary, even in the most ordinary things!”
General Commissions: You can commission me to paint a special place or event! Additionally, if you see one of my works that you like, but need a larger or smaller size, I can paint something similar (I don't copy duplicates but will paint similar subject and style).
A 30% deposit is required upon commission, with balance due at delivery of work. Cost is contingent on size and subject matter. Contact me below with questions or requests!
Painting Commissions: You can commission me to paint a portrait of you (for a Corporate or Personal collection) or your loved ones. Quality photographs and poses are necessary, and I can paint from yours or take my own. I prefer when possible, to paint/sketch from life at least one session, to capture personality and color notes. In my work, I strive to truly capture the spirit of the subject! Before portrait is begun, we will meet and discuss your vision.
