House portraits

Homes that are loved.

Each painting began with a photograph and a conversation. Favorite seasons, beloved flowers, preferred colors and layout ideas are welcomed and carefully considered.

Creative Projects

Sometimes I am asked to paint a shop, landmark, or in this case, a gift for the head of a preschool. Small images surrounded the entrance showing favorite spots in the school. I love brainstorming with my clients and designing a truly one of a kind gift. Prices available upon request.
