Artistic Portraits

Custom paintings & portraits capture time, place, mood... even emotion. That's what makes them so special. That's what makes them a Lifetime piece. They are a perfect way to share not only the subject, but a glimpse of your own ♥️ ! 

I create all kinds of custom art, with and without resin. In general I work with a hi-res photographic image, whether yours or mine: Photos of family, pets, kids, babies, yourself, a spouse, a friend, or a favorite event you want preserved in memory. All make excellent subjects for this type of work.

A typical process begins thus: you send me a favorite photo or take one via photoshoot with me, then we discuss what you're looking for and what about this photo is special to you. I will then print your photo on your choice of wood, metal, or canvas. After that I will take our discussion and image and craft a unique piece fit for you from a variety of techniques that may include paints, pigment agents, and resin, to meet your desire. This process can include alteration or effects to the photograph itself or embellishment of the photograph after it is printed on the display medium before I overlay in resin, and may include other layered effects within the resin itself, all of which we can discuss when you purchase your design. 

Exact dimensions can be adjusted to suit your needs, Pricing is based on the overall dimensions & exact work desired. To calculate which size to purchase if you don't see your desired size listed, you can either purchase the lowest price item and I can invoice you before work begins for any overage, or you can calculate for yourself: multiple the desired width by the height, in inches, for total square area of the piece you wish to have made. You can compare this total with the totals for the sizes I have provided: 

up to 900 in.² total = 24" x 36"

901 in.² - 1200 in.² = 30" x 40"

1201 in.² - 1600 in.²​ = 40" x 40"

1601 in.² - 2300 in.²​ = 48" x 48"

2301 in.² - 2900 in.² ​= 48" x 60"
