Why I Paint

Art is honestly my way of capturing those little moments that make life sweet. When you ask me for a commissioned painting, it’s not just about putting color on canvas - it’s about creating something that actually means something to you. I work in both oils and watercolors, switching depending on the vibe or the feeling you want to keep forever.

How We’ll Create Together

Every piece starts with your story. Maybe you want a portrait - we can do a live sitting (expect a few hours, chai breaks included), or I’ll work from a photo you love. If you’ve got a memory or a wild idea, just tell me and I’ll help bring it to life. For live portraits, I usually paint alla prima - finishing the main work in one go, then polishing it up in my studio.

Portraits, Places, and Memories

Portraits are special - I can paint you in full color, or try a Grisaille (monochrome) style. I also love bringing places to life, whether it’s your childhood home, a city from your travels, or a quiet landscape. If you want a painting from travel photos, just send them my way. I pay attention to the details that matter - even that old window with a story.

Materials I Trust

I use artist-grade oils and watercolors (mostly Gamblincolors and Daniel Smith) on linen, canvas, or thick watercolor paper. I want your custom watercolor artwork or oil portrait commission to last - so I never compromise on quality.
