Heirloom Portrait Commissions. Made with aloha in Hawaii.

Thoughtfully illustrated portraits for women who want to be seen as they truly are. Confident, glamorous, powerful, and deeply themselves. Created with care and meant to last.

Not AI. Not filters. Not paint overs. All made with care just for you.

Commissioning a portrait is an intimate thing. It should feel thoughtful, collaborative, and personal.

Every portrait I create is illustrated from scratch using your photos, your story, and the way you want to feel when you see yourself reflected back. I am not interested in copying a photo exactly. I am interested in capturing presence, confidence, and mood.

The goal is for you to look at your portrait and feel recognized, not just represented.

Custom Made

Just For You

Most of my portrait commissions are initiated by women. That is not by accident.

My work has always centered on the feminine figure, not as decoration, but as presence. I am drawn to women who want to feel beautiful without apology, powerful without hardness, and glamorous without losing softness.

These portraits are often commissioned by women for themselves, by women for their families, or as meaningful gifts for partners and loved ones. Even when a portrait includes others, the emotional center is almost always feminine.

These commissions are especially suited for:

  • Women commissioning a portrait of themselves
  • Couples portraits where the feminine presence leads the story
  • Family portraits centered around mothers and matriarchs
  • Romantic or milestone gifts for wives or partners

This focus allows me to create work that feels intentional, cohesive, and emotionally honest.

Always

Made with Heart

Every portrait is created with care and delivered as a finished artwork that is ready to live in your home.

This is a moment I see often. A client meeting her portrait for the first time. There is usually a pause. Sometimes laughter. Sometimes tears. What matters most to me is that she feels beautiful, powerful, and truly seen.

Each piece is produced using high quality materials so it can be enjoyed for many years, not just admired once.

What to Expect

Step 1

Inquiry and Alignment
You share a few details about who the portrait is for, the occasion, and what you are hoping to capture. This helps make sure we are a good fit before moving forward.

Step 2

Concept and Composition
I design the overall layout, pose, setting, and details using your references as inspiration. This is where the portrait begins to take on its personality and mood.

Step 3

Illustration and Refinement
The portrait is illustrated by hand from scratch. Progress is shared at key stages so the work can evolve thoughtfully without being rushed or overworked.

Step 4

Final Artwork and Delivery
Your portrait is completed as a signed, archival artwork and delivered ready to display and enjoy.

Made To Be Cherished

I accept a limited number of portrait commissions each year so each piece can receive my full attention.

These portraits are created as personal keepsakes. They are meant to live with you, to be seen every day, and to remind you of how you felt in this chapter of your life. My goal is always for you to feel beautiful, confident, and powerful when you look at your portrait, not just now, but years from now.

Artwork Details

Each portrait is created as a finished, ready-to-hang artwork.

  • Size: 16 x 20 inches
  • Medium: Archival giclée print on canvas
  • Finish: Stretched and ready to hang
  • Signature: Hand signed

This size is intentional. It is large enough to feel special and present in a room, but still intimate and easy to live with.

Commission Pricing

Each portrait is priced individually based on the time, care, and complexity involved.

Most heirloom portrait commissions begin around $1,200 and increase depending on scope and detail.

Rather than offering preset packages, pricing reflects how involved the portrait is. For example:

  • Single figure portraits
    One main subject, often a self-portrait or individual commission with a focused composition.
  • Multi figure or family portraits
    Portraits that include more than one person, such as couples or families, which require additional composition, balance, and illustration time.
  • Custom settings and symbolic details
    Portraits that include specific environments, meaningful locations, floral elements, or symbolic details woven into the artwork.

These elements help shape the final artwork and are discussed during the inquiry stage so everything feels clear and aligned from the start.
