i work from your photographs to create charcoal portraits that capture the likeness of your child, pet, or home. 

My goal is to portray the essence of the subject so that it becomes a cherished piece for years to come.

portraits are drawn on archival paper using charcoal pencils. i spend hours staring at each subject to make sure the drawing is accurate - that the twinkle in the eye and the wisp of the hair is just right. before the portrait is finalized, i send you a proof and give you the opportunity to ask for any tweaks. portraits come wrapped and packaged as a treat to give or receive.

i aim for both accurate detail and overall personality - taking you back to that beloved life stage for years to come.

"I'm about to cry... you are so gifted. We will display this at my daughter's 2nd birthday and cherish it always."

please get in touch to request more detailed information. i look forward to hearing from you!
