Honoring a Loved One
Creating a Portrait With Personal Meaning
Everyone remembers someone a little differently—a smile, an expression, a special moment, or simply the feeling of having them nearby. A memorial portrait can bring those memories together in a deeply personal work of art.
Knowing a little about the person I'm painting can help me understand what matters most to you. You are welcome to share favorite memories, personality traits, or details that you'd especially like reflected in the finished portrait.
Tell Me About Them
A meaningful portrait doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes a particular expression or photograph says everything. In other cases, we may incorporate a meaningful detail or work from several photographs to create the portrait you envision.
