portrait commission
A custom portrait is more than just a piece of art. It’s a deeply personal way to honor a loved one, celebrate a meaningful memory, or keep someone’s spirit alive. Each portrait I create is made with care, intention, and a deep respect for the stories and emotions you share with me.
To those who have already entrusted me with creating portraits of the people you love: thank you from the bottom of my heart! It’s an honor to be part of something so personal, and I’m grateful to witness the deep love and connection you hold for those who mean the most to you.
Step 1: Share Your Photos
Using the form above, submit clear, high-quality reference photos. The more detail, the better. If you’d like multiple people from separate images to be drawn together, I can combine them into one portrait.
Step 2: Quote & Personalization
Once I receive your photos, I’ll assess the level of detail and provide a cost estimate. You can choose between two sizes: 16”x20” or 18”x24”. To further personalize your piece, I’ll ask if you’d like to include any personal touches (favorite flowers, mwaramwar, lettering, etc)
Step 3: Confirmation & Payment
After everything is confirmed, full payment is required to begin. I’ll give you an estimated completion date, and once the piece is mailed, I will provide your tracking number. Throughout the process, I love to share progress photos so you can watch your portrait come to life.
Please note that frames are optional. If you’d like me to assist with framing your portrait, an additional fee will apply. I kindly ask for 2–3 weeks notice to ensure enough time to complete your custom piece with care.
