Fine Art Portrait Commissions
I create one-of-a-kind portraits that celebrate the animals and people who matter most. Whether you're commemorating a beloved pet, honoring a special person, or bringing a wildlife subject to life, each portrait is carefully handcrafted to capture both likeness and personality.
When commissioning a portrait, please provide the best quality, highest resolution photos. A high-quality photo will allow me to capture the personality & create a close likeness of each subject.
SINGLE SUBJECT / NEUTRAL BACKGROUND
*Custom sizes, multiple subjects, detailed backgrounds, and alternate mediums are available upon request. Please contact me for a personalized quote.
TIMELINE
DEPOSIT
PAYMENT
SHIPPING
Commission timelines typically
range from 2–4 weeks from the
start date, depending on the size
and complexity of the artwork.
To reserve your place on my commission schedule, a 50% deposit is required, with the remaining balance due upon completion.
Payment may be made securely by credit card, PayPal, or Venmo.
Shipping costs are calculated
based on the size of the
artwork, destination, and
whether framing is requested.
FRAMING
Portraits are sold unframed unless otherwise specified. Framing is available upon request and priced according to the size of the artwork. All custom framing includes a solid wood frame, acid-free matting and backing materials, and museum-quality UV protective glass to help preserve your artwork for years to come.
CARING FOR YOUR PORTRAIT
Graphite Portraits: Graphite portraits are sealed with a professional fixative to help prevent smudging and fading.
For long-term preservation, I recommend framing your
artwork behind glass using acid-free archival materials.
UV protective glass offers additional protection from
fading over time.
Pastel Portraits: To preserve the richness and vibrancy
of color, pastel portraits are not sealed. Pastel artwork
should always be framed behind glass using archival
materials, with adequate spacing between the artwork
and the glass to prevent contact with the pastel surface.
For best results, I recommend professional framing by
an experienced framer familiar with pastel artwork.
DISPLAY & PRESERVATION
To ensure the longevity of your artwork, avoid displaying it in direct sunlight or areas subject to excessive heat, humidity, or moisture. With proper care and framing, your portrait can be enjoyed for generations.
EACH PORTRAIT IS DRAWN WITH CARE, INTENTION, & RESPECT FOR YOUR SUBJECT.
I LOK FORWARD TO CREATING A LASTING PIECE OF ART YOU WILL CHERISH
