People
One person or several. Everyday, formal, joyful, quiet or completely specific to them.
CUSTOM ORIGINAL PAINTINGS
YOU BRING
YOU BRING
THE MEMORY.
I'LL PAINT THE STORY.
A person you love.
A family you wish existed together
in one photograph.
A pet.
A place you still think about.
A memory that deserves to become
something you can actually hold onto.
Start by telling me why it matters.
NOT JUST A COPY
Your photographs tell me what someone looked like.
Your story tells me what I should notice.
Maybe it's the garden behind them.
The shirt they always wore.
The way two people looked at one another.
A city connected to the memory.
The chair everybody remembers them sitting in.
Those details are why I want to hear
about the person or memory before I start thinking about paint.
WHAT CAN WE MAKE?
Your idea does not have to fit inside “portrait.”
Family & Memorials
People or generations brought together, even when life never gave the family one photograph containing everybody.
Animals
Pets and animals painted alone or as part of the relationship, environment or story surrounding them.
Places & Strange Ideas
Trips, meaningful locations, imagined scenes, favorite worlds and ideas that don't fit neatly into another box.
PAST COMMISSIONS
Look at what other people asked me to remember.
Different subjects. Different styles. Different reasons for making the work.
LOVE + FAMILY
A relationship held through gesture, movement and color.
PLACE + MEMORY
People and place combined into one remembered scene.
PERSON + ANIMAL
A relationship expanded into an entire painted environment.
PORTRAITURE
Sometimes all the painting needs is the person and their presence.
PERSONAL DETAILS
Clothing, pose and surroundings help a portrait feel like the actual person.
RELATIONSHIPS
Sometimes the real subject is the space between two people.
HOME
The point is for the painting to leave my studio and enter somebody's life.
VERY SPECIFIC 😌
Not every commission has to make us cry. Weird ideas ar
