If you find yourself reading this, I see you. I created this outline to support painters, like you, on their path of releasing the resistance that is keeping them feeling ‘stuck’ to allowing the art to flow through them again with a wholehearted supported painting approach. Over the last decade I’ve painted custom pet portraits and I know how challenging life as a painter and creative can be. When we’re faced with resistance, can’t shake what’s bothering us, [...]

{Bee Daisy, Purple Daisy and Sunny Daisy from the Etsy Shop} Sometimes my clients and customers sends me photos of how and where prints or paintings ended up in their homes. These are from a Swedish client who bought several prints from me last year and many of them ended up in her summerhouse in southern Sweden. I loved how she placed them and asked if I could share these with you. And don't you absolutely love how [...]

Before I'm heading to Richmond today to pick up my art from the Virginia State Senate exhibit, I wanted to show you what I'm currently working on. After a comment by an interior decorator, I was inspired to make this painting into a large scale one. Wouldn't it look so cool over a sofa or in a big entry way? Here's the progress so far (sorry for my not-so-good iPhone photos): {first layer of Pink+Gray together with the [...]

Ahhh, what a nice treat to share this latest painting with you. And on a Monday of all days! I can't help but get a smile across my face when I look at "Sunny Daisy." I'm not sure if it's the yellow color or if it's the perception (can't you imagine yourself having bent down to smell the flower?). Stretching 16 inches tall and 40 inches wide - technically this painting could also hang vertically - I can [...]

Fill out this form and receive a free consultation.
How does this work?: I paint from your photographs to create a detailed portrait of a pet or bouquet. I don’t need anything for flower paintings.
Can I give this as a gift?: Yes! A painting is such a thoughtful and considerate gift and many clients choose to do this. Gift certificates are also available.
How do I pick the size of my painting?: Measure out the space to get an idea of how large/small the painting needs to be. I’m happy to give suggestions as well.
What if I have specific colors I want you to use?: Absolutely! The colors are important so we want to make sure they work together.
How long does it take?: A few weeks, but it depends on the size and my schedule. Contact me early so I can pencil you in, especially if you want it for a specific date (i.e. anniversary date or birthday).
What’s the price?: The price depends on the size of your piece. I typically do 50% deposit on the commission with the remainder (plus any sales tax) due once it is finished.
