Welcome

Thank you for visiting my web site. I would love the opportunity to draw a portrait from your favorite photograph of a loved one. I've compiled below some important information to share with you. I hope to hear from you soon!

PHOTO SUBJECTS AND QUALITY: A quality photo is requested for best end result of the portrait. The size of the photo is important as it must show as many details of the subject as possible. Prints 4” X 6” and larger are best, but I have used smaller quality photos. Lighting on the subject should be natural. Background should not blend with a subjects’ hair color. If sending a black and white photo, your portrait will be completed in charcoal - black and white. If sending a color photo, your portrait can be completed in either pastel or charcoal.

MATERIAL: The paper I use is acid free to help preserve the portrait. Portraits are drawn with pencil, and finished in either charcoal (black & white) or pastel chalks (color). They are sprayed with a clear acrylic sealer, unless otherwise requested. Some samples shown remain in pencil only.

SHIPPING: Portraits can be mailed at an additional expense. Matting and framing are not included in the pricing. I feel that framing is a very personal choice that should be made by the owner.

PRICING: A deposit may be required to begin a project. Upon completion of the portrait a photo of the portrait will be submitted to you (by e-mail or U.S. Mail) for approval and the balance on the project will then be due. Upon receipt of final payment the portrait will be shipped to you. See Pricing page for sizes and quotes. Prices are subject to change.

HOW TO GET STARTED: Once you've chosen the best photograph of course, review the pricing page. Choose the size and finish (charcoal or pastel). Send the deposit with your photograph to me at the address listed on the Contact page. The photograph will be returned. Include in a short note; your choice of finish, your name, US address (no P.O. Boxes), and e-mail address (if you would like to see the finished portrait via e-mail). I would also like to have your written permission to show my work on this web site.

WHAT IF YOU ARE NOT PLEASED: I will send you a digital photo of the finished portrait. You may choose to accept or deny. Minor changes can be made.
