CUSTOM ARTWORk
Fine art portraits are heirloom pieces that will be with your family for generations. Each one is custom made, unique and created to best reflect the personality of the subject. I strive to create portraits that are reflections of not only one’s appearance but also personality: that spark, twinkle in the eye or mischievous smile that shines through and makes you uniquely you!
Portrait Procedure
If you live in the greater Nashville area, I’m happy to provide a no obligation consultation in your home or office. At this time, I’ll answer any questions and learn more about your stylistic preferences and the intended subject you have in mind for your portrait. During this meeting, we can plan out the details, including clothing, setting, pose and background. If you live outside the greater Nashville area, we can coordinate this through telephone and email.
Once we have planned out the details, I’ll complete a photo session. Depending on the age of the subject and time available, I’ll conduct a painted study. Together we will then determine the final details and images I’ll use as reference to begin the portrait back in my studio. As framing can vary greatly in construction, paintings are priced unframed. We can work together to find the perfect one to fit the look and feel of your portrait.
