Media: Oil, pastel, graphite and colored pencil, and gouache.

Subject matter: Realistic portraits of pets, figures, and houses. Still life renderings including your objects as subjects - vases, tablecloths, family heirlooms, etc. I enjoy painting fabrics with patterns, reflective and transparent surfaces found in glass and metal. I can incorporate those same elements to create abstract compositions and am willing to incorporate a palette of colors that will suit your particular needs.

Prices: The prices of my commissioned work start at $350 for smaller work, $650 for medium-sized oils; $1,100 on up for larger work. Prices for drawings are less but involve additional framing costs for mats, glass, etc.

Sizes: Begin at approximately 8" X 10" to dimensions no longer than 48". For larger pieces I can create diptychs or triptychs.

Terms: A contract and deposit apply.

Additional information: I will consider using your personal snapshots as photo references for paintings and am open to suggestions, but I maintain control over artistic decisions. I do not accept all commissions. Personalized gift certificates and gift cards are available. Call for an appointment to discuss your commission needs. My days and hours in the studio vary but I am willing to accommodate your schedule.
