I believe art should be both beautiful and meaningful - a bridge between creativity and everyday moments that matter most. Nowhere is this more evident than in portraiture. Whether it’s capturing the essence of a loved one or honoring the memory of a beloved pet, I strive to convey the unconditional love we share for one another through my artwork. In order to put forth my best effort and give each piece the time they deserve, I limit myself to only 10 commissions per year.

  • I like to work in a variety of mediums that each offer a different aesthetic.

    My hand-burned portraits on slabs of wood give off a warm, rustic feel. Their unique nature is sure to grab the attention of anyone passing by. I can also burn portraits onto wooden ornaments that make fantastic gifts for the holidays.

    If you are looking for more of a “fine art” quality to your portrait, I’d recommend a charcoal or pastel portrait. Charcoal is perfect for dark and moody pieces, while pastels are bright and colorful. These come custom-framed to ensure they are protected and ready to display.

    3. Once the terms are agreed on by both parties, a deposit of one-half the selling price is required before work can commence.

    4. Once in production, most commissions are completed in 3-4 weeks. I can send regular updates/progress pictures at your request and am always available for questions or concerns.

    5. When your order is near completion I will contact you to arrange shipping/local pickup details. Final payments are due upon delivery.

  • Most commissioned pieces are completed in 3-4 weeks. Due to high order volume I may be accepting commissions months in advance of delivery, if this is the case you will be notified when your project enters production.

  • Deposits are nonrefundable.

    Refunds of final payments may only be issued once the artwork is back in my possession in a presentable and undamaged state.
