Custom Portraits: Faceless & Detailed
I turn your favourite photos into lasting hand-painted memories. Whether you prefer the modern look of faceless illustrations or a detailed realistic portrait, every piece is painted with love on canvas or paper.

About this collection
My process depends entirely on the quality of your photo. For the best result, please send a high-resolution image with clear lighting, as I work directly from those details to build the composition. Once we finalize the size and style, I update you during the sketching and base coat stages so you are part of the journey.
Choosing Your Style
I offer two distinct ways to capture your moments. My faceless portraits are perfect for a contemporary, minimalist look. We focus on the silhouette, outfits, and the vibe of the moment, which often makes for a great anniversary or birthday gift. On the other hand, my detailed realistic portraits focus on facial features and likeness. These are sketched with precision to capture exactly who the person is.
How It Works
- Your Photo: High-resolution is key. Whether it is a family gathering, a wedding shot, or a candid moment, the clearer the photo, the better the final painting.
- The Medium: For vibrant, bold gifts, I use acrylics on canvas. For softer, delicate memories, I prefer watercolors on high-quality paper.
- Customization: You can add small details like floral borders or specific backgrounds to make it personal.
- Delivery: Every piece is varnished for protection before it is shipped in a rigid tube or box to ensure it reaches you safely.
Whether you need a 5x7 inch mini canvas with an easel for your desk or a larger wall piece, each portrait is hand-painted from scratch. I do not use prints or filters, it is all art by hand.
