Let’s work together: Commission a portrait
It is super cheesy but I 100 bajillion percent believe that the eyes are the window to the soul. When I create portraits, I am extremely attentive to facial expressions, to a person’s essence and spirit. My technical skills in drawing work in concert with my intuition and connection to emotion as a highly sensitive person.
My art really does come from the heart - I love working on pieces that speak to your soul, that bring an extra dose of beauty, meaning, and care to your life!
The story of Shelley’s portrait commission …
Say hello to the lovely Shelley, who commissioned a remembrance portrait of her beautiful mom, Katrina. To work on this pencil drawing, Shelley sent me a photo of her mom and asked me to incorporate butterflies coming toward her. During our first consultation, I made a rough sketch so we could agree upon the composition of the portrait. We also discussed materials such as what size paper I’d use, and the medium (in this case, pencil drawing). As I worked on this portrait, I put a special focus on capturing the love that comes through the sparkle in Katrina’s eyes.
Seeing Shelley’s reaction to the portrait really touched my heart. I feel grateful that she trusted me to create this portrait of her mom and this beautiful spirit lives on in Shelley.
