Fine Oil Portraits
Bridal, Family, Baby, Pet Portraits
I offer a range of portrait experiences from the traditional portrait experience in which the subject sits for their portrait, to a portrait painted from photographs. My classic portraits are painted in oils with various textures and expressive knife work. I am known for my ability to capture uncanny likenesses and candid narratives.
“What could be more simple and more complex, more obvious and more profound than a portrait.”
- Charles Baudelaire
Live Painting
Live Oil Portraits, Event Paintings, Watercolor Guest Portraits
Since 2013, I have traveled with my easel and paint to capture events in real time. It is an enchanting way to add a delightful experience for your guests and to memorialize your wedding or event in an impactful way. It is an honor to continue to be invited to your most special events. My live painting business is named UNITED IN PAINT.
THE PORTRAIT BAR is my live watercolor portrait service and word is spreading like wildfire about this personable way to entertain your guests and send them home with the best favor ever: a custom watercolor illustration that they will likely frame so they can be transported back to your event every time they look at it.
