Frequently asked questions.

There’s no way my kid will sit still long enough for you to even draw him. What do we do?

I work from photographs. I can either come and take the photo or you can provide one. I will work with you to ensure the lighting and the pose are perfect.

I’ve got to have this for my husband’s birthday. Is that possible?

It depends. It takes about 2 weeks to complete a painting. It also depends on how long my waitlist is.

I’ve repainted my den and now the portrait doesn’t match my color scheme. Can I return the painting or have you change the color scheme?

Sorry, no returns. I will work closely with you during the process by sending pictures to make sure you love the direction the portrait is heading and also the final product. I will also show you the final piece one last time before it is glazed for your approval. Once it is glazed it is finished. No turning back.

I really want you to paint for me but I can’t decide what size or even what picture to use. Can I join your waitlist now?

Yes! You can reserve your spot with a non-refundable deposit, and I can work with you to finalize the details. If you aren’t sure your needs yet, feel free to take your time and contact me about a free consultation prior to booking. I am happy to discuss the options . . . no pressure to purchase now! Please understand that I won’t be able to schedule your portrait until the deposit is submitted. It can still be helpful to talk it through and plan in advance so you can get on the schedule whenever you are ready to do so.
