Art that Tells Your Story

 A commissioned painting is a collaboration between the artist and the collector.  The artist becomes the visual translator, enabling the collector to share a story that becomes a visual representation of the spoken word.  

What's your story?

A commissioned painting is an heirloom, an opportunity to capture a significant story from your life's journey, to pass down to the next generation.A commissioned painting can also be about a specific person, place, or thing that can symbolize a multitude of stories or treasured moments. A portrait of a beloved pet, treasured place, lifelong played instrument, or childhood home can remind us of the best times of our lives. 

All we need to start, is your favorite story, person, pet, place, or thing...the creative process and vision follows. 

 You tell me your story, or describe the person, pet, place, or thing, and why it is significant to you. I can help tease out the details by fielding specific questions that can help you formulate a meaningful response.  

This thoughtful process will guide us to find symbols, colors, textures, and brushstrokes to visually translate your words and the most important parts and feelings of your story.

Bring me your all your ideas, no matter how crazy they might sound, and we can work together to create a visual portrait, landscape, symbol, or story that represents what is most important to you.
