A perfect way to commemorate the pets, people, and places you love
I offer colored pencil and graphite pencil portraits and artwork, which come in a number of sizes ranging from small to large. Your choice may depend on the number of subjects in your portrait or the decor of your home. I usually have a waiting list but I will always try to juggle my schedule to fit in a special occasion if you have a deadline. Once the details are agreed on you can secure your spot by submitting a 50% deposit.
*Pricing is for a single subject with a white background. Add 20% for an additional subject. 5x7 sizing is only available for single subjects. Pricing for backgrounds are negotiated based on complexity. Prices for more elaborate commissions can be negotiated based on complexity.

Bad lighting, looking away
Natural lighting, at eye level
Better reference, better portrait!
High quality references help capture the details
The best reference photos for portraiture are taken up close at eye level and lit with natural light. If you can't decide, I'm happy to give suggestions. You can submit multiple photos that best represent distinct aspects you would like to capture. Photos can be sent by email or by postal mail. Physical photos will be returned to you with the final portrait.
Be involved throughout the process
A portrait of a loved one or pet is a deeply personal piece of art, and getting it right matters. That’s why I keep you involved throughout the process. I’ll share progress photos at key stages, giving you the opportunity to offer feedback. Whether it’s refining an expression, adjusting a small detail, or simply confirming everything feels right your input helps ensure the finished portrait reflects exactly what you envisioned.
