Individual

Each commissioned piece is created individually for you from your photos. I partner with you to ensure the image we use as a reference fits the project's needs and evokes the memories you hope to capture.

Quality

All the materials used in the studio are of the highest quality, artist-grade. My oil pastels are Sennelier, and the paper is Arches Oil Pastel 140lb cotton white paper. The thread paintings are stitched with DMC 6-strand cotton floss.

Evocative

Seen in the layers of oil pastels or the stitches of a thread painting, each custom piece, with its vibrant colors and rich textures, gives life and dimension to the faces of the people you love and the places you love to remember.

What can I create for you?

Celebrate the people you love most through the beautiful and expressive color and texture of oil pastels.

Portraits

Whether your pet has four legs and fur, two legs and feathers, or something in between - these portraits are the perfect way to capture their personality or remember their kind eyes.

Pet Portraits

A new home, the family home, your honeymoon, or your favorite vaction captured in vibrant colors.
