Portrait Commission

A portrait commission is more than just artwork—it’s a deeply personal experience. Whether it’s the sparkle in a loved one’s eyes, the charm of a family home, or the spirit of a beloved pet, I create unique, hand-drawn portraits that preserve moments you’ll treasure for a lifetime. I specialize in bringing warmth, detail, and authenticity to every piece. Let me honor what matters most to you through art.

There’s something captivating about the human face—and I’ve been drawn to it since childhood. While most children were doodling stick figures, I was sketching lifelike people with vibrant details: eyes, eyelashes, teeth, and all the rest.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of illustrating people of all ages, from newborn babies to centenarians. Most notably, I created the cover art and interior portraits for Idaho 100, a centennial book capturing the stories and faces of Idaho’s centenarians. My portraits are always drawn from scratch using your photographs, with no shortcuts or computer manipulation. The result? Truly unique, heartfelt portraits that celebrate individuality and life.

There’s no place like home—and no better way to celebrate its charm than through a custom illustration. A home illustration isn’t just art; it’s a perfect, one-of-a-kind gift for housewarmings, greeting cards, realtor clients, or cherished holiday keepsakes.

I’ve completed over 200 detailed building illustrations, including homes, schools, churches, and businesses. Each illustration is hand-drawn from scratch in pen and ink on acid-free, archival paper. Your completed piece will arrive matted with a bevel-cut black mat and a sleek white core, making it gallery-ready.

Your furry (or feathered) friends are more than just pets—they’re family. Capture the unique spirit and personality of your beloved companion with a handcrafted pet portrait.

Over the years, I’ve worked on countless commissions for pets of all kinds—including dogs, cats, horses, birds, gerbils, turtles, and even a tarantula! I work with a variety of mediums, ensuring your pet is depicted in all their charm and character.
