A portrait is a one of a kind heirloom

Portraits are a special way of celebrating life's milestones and stages. I have over 20 years experience painting portraits in watercolor and oil for private clients and public institutions all over the world.

Paintings range from affordable, easy to display miniatures to full-length showpieces. I am happy to work with you to find the option that works for your budget.

The Process

Step 1: Submit the form above to start the conversation. Feel free to include any details you have in mind such as subject, size, background, medium and price range. If you already have photos, I am happy to take a look at them.

Step 2: We schedule the time frame for your portrait. Watercolor portraits take between 2-8 weeks from deposit and oil takes between 1-3 months depending upon size

Step 2: If you would like me to take photos and work with you on posing, we will schedule a photo session. I ask for a 1/2 payment as a non-refundable deposit at this time.

Step 3: I go to my studio and get to work! I will send photos of preliminary sketches for approval.

Step 4: I send another photo when I am almost finished and welcome any suggestions - I work hard to ensure your portrait is exactly what you hoped for!

Step 5: Payment of remaining balance is due upon completion of the painting to your satisfaction.

I’m happy to deliver in the Cincinnati area or arrange shipping. Cost of shipping and insurance is the responsibility of the client and varies according to size and distance shipped.
