About the work

A closer look.

Looking for a custom portrait of your grandmother, grandpa, mom, or someone you've lost? I paint people who never sat for me. You tell me three small true things about them: what their hands did, one thing they kept, and what you would say if they walked in. No photo needed. The words are the sitting. What you get: one portrait, painted from your words alone, and a short grandmother's letter folded around it, paired to what you gave me. One revision included. 48 hours. Good for a keepsake, a memorial, a birthday, or the person you keep meaning to tell. I never met them, and I will not pretend I did. I paint the living memory, never contact with anyone gone.
