About
Creating realistic soft pastel artwork inspired by the people, pets, and wildlife that make life memorable.
Art has been a creative outlet for me for as long as I can remember, but in recent years I discovered a passion for soft pastels because of their ability to capture rich color and texture in layers.
Today, I create custom portraits and original wildlife artwork with a focus on realism, aiming to showcase the character and personality of every subject I draw.
My Approach
Every portrait begins with careful observation. Through layers of soft pastel, I work to capture not only accurate details but also the expression and personality that make each subject unique. I love interpreting neutrals in varied hues for a more vibrant final piece.
Whether I'm drawing a beloved pet, a wildlife study, or a custom commission, my goal is to create artwork that feels realistic and meaningful.
The Custom Portrait Process
Commissioning a custom portrait is simple. Here's what to expect, from your initial photo to the finished artwork.
01
Select Your Specs
Select your size, framing, and other options—or request a FREE mockup if you'd like to see your portrait before ordering. I am here to help if you have any questions!
02
Approve Your Mockup
I’ll create a complimentary mockup from your reference photos for you to review. Your feedback and collaboration are welcome to ensure you love the final results.
03
Await Your Portrait
Once your mockup is approved and payment is received, I’ll begin bringing your portrait to life. All artwork is hand crafted in soft pastel and delivered to your address.
HOW TO GET STARTED
More Than a Portrait.
Some commissions celebrate a beloved pet. Others mark an important memory, milestone, or gift. Whatever the reason, creating artwork that holds personal meaning is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
