Ready to Commission a Painting?

Commissions are more than just paintings—they are unique keepsakes designed specifically for you! Whether it’s a beloved pet, your home sweet home, a memorable vacation, or your wedding day, I’m here to help you preserve those stories through art.

I work in two distinct mediums depending on the "vibe" and detail you’re looking for:

• Oil Paintings: Best for larger, heirloom-quality pieces. This medium allows for detail and likeness.

• Watercolor Illustrations: Perfect for smaller, gestural, and charming pieces.

Creating your custom art is easy: send me your reference photos, we’ll align on the design, and once the deposit is placed, I’ll paint your piece and share a preview for your approval. Voila—your memory is captured!

Scroll down for more details, or shoot me an email if you have any questions. Let’s create something beautiful!

Pet Portrait & Pet Memorial

Elbie Presley Debut: My tennis teammate, Karen, commissioned a portrait of Elbie as a Christmas gift for her husband—one of those notoriously difficult people to shop for! She mentioned that Elbie has a real passion for dancing and even shared a video of him in action. After finishing a traditional portrait, I couldn't resist creating this second, "just-for-fun" piece. Here is Elbie pursuing his true calling under his stage name: Elbie Presley.

More Than Just a Painting: Many of my clients have shared how much they treasure these portraits, especially as a way to honor their companions after they've crossed the rainbow bridge. "It’s about capturing a spirit, not just a likeness." As a fellow pet lover, there is nothing more rewarding than helping a beloved pet "live on" through art, keeping their memory vibrant in the hearts of their families.

Vacation & Landscape

🌴 A Sunny Afternoon🌴: Welcome to a beautiful sunny afternoon in the Asian Garden at Naples Botanic Garden in Naples, Florida. This painting has a lot going on - lush palms, blooming lotus flowers, reflective water, and a warm Balinese shrine - yet it feels wonderfully peaceful and meditative. I can still remember the moment of zen I felt right on the spot.

Memories Captured in Paint: These landscapes are more than just paint on canvas. They are a way to bring back the fleeting magic of a past trip, a family vacation, or a special place held close to your heart. Every brushstroke works to store those irreplaceable moments, capturing the warmth and beauty of your favorite memories so you can revisit them every single day.

Live Guest Portraits

I had the absolute pleasure of providing live guest portraits for the 2026 Night to Inspire Gala, hosted by the Dripping Springs Art League. What an incredible evening!

The process was seamless and high-energy: I captured photos of the guests as they arrived, allowing them to enjoy the event while I worked. When they returned, their custom paintings were ready for pickup. Seeing the smiles on their faces and chatting with everyone made the night truly special.

There is something so magical about storing special memories in art—it was an honor to help the Dripping Springs community do just that!
