Hand-Painted Family, Friends & Sibling Portraits
I turn your favorite shared memories into heartfelt, custom portraits. Whether it's a birthday gift, a Rakhi surprise, or just to celebrate your 'thangakudams' (treasures), I'll capture the bond you share on canvas.
The sweetest portrait I did for a client's mother's birthday. The video has a POV message: "Your mom is the happiest person to watch you shine," which perfectly captures the feeling of this piece.
This is the cutest commission, encapsulating the warmth of sibling love. The client wanted to add the word 'thangakudams' (my treasures), which makes this piece incredibly personal and special.
A portrait celebrating the special bond between sisters. This custom acrylic portrait on a 10x12 inch canvas makes a wonderful gift for a sibling.
Gifts for your BFF are the best. This video shows the process of painting a portrait for a best friend and ends with the client's heartwarming feedback.
"Can you paint me with my mom? We don't have a nice picture together." Requests like this are why I love what I do. I combined two separate photos to create this beautiful mother-daughter portrait.
A heartwarming portrait of a grandmother holding her grandchild. This piece, with its soft pink background, captures a moment of pure love and connection between generations.
This is the final painting from my biggest commission yet, a beautiful family portrait against a serene beach backdrop. It shows that I can handle large-scale, meaningful pieces for your home.
This video gives you a glimpse into the process of painting the large family portrait. It's a reminder to trust the process, even when a piece looks messy in the middle stages.
One of the biggest lessons from painting this large family portrait was patience. Big canvases take time, and this piece taught me that slow and steady truly wins the race.
This is the first episode of my family portrait painting series. In this video, I start painting my dad's face, showing my process in real-time from the initial sketch to the final touches on his turban.
About Family, Friends & Sibling Portraits
I often hear, 'We don't have a single good photo together.' If that’s you, I specialize in merging people from different photographs into one cohesive, seamless painting. It’s not just about painting faces; it's about creating a moment of togetherness that didn't exist in your camera roll, but feels completely real on canvas.
More Than Just a Painting
When you commission a portrait with me, you’re not just getting paint on a canvas. You’re getting a piece of my heart. I paint primarily with high-quality acrylics on stretched cotton canvas, ensuring the colors stay vibrant for years to come. Whether it’s a sibling portrait for Rakhi, a Mother’s Day gift, or a surprise for your BFF, I treat every piece with the same attention to detail.
My Process: Bringing Your Vision to Life
Everything starts with a conversation. We’ll pick the right size, from compact 6x8 inch canvases to larger 10x12 inch statement pieces. If you want specific details—like a favorite outfit, a meaningful quote, or a background inspired by the 'Lover' era or a dreamy landscape—I can absolutely include that. For composite portraits, I create a digital layout for you to approve before I ever touch a brush, so you know exactly how it’s going to look.
The Final Touch
I believe the unboxing should feel as special as the art itself. Every portrait comes carefully gift-wrapped, complete with a handwritten note, dried flowers, and a wax seal. If you want to include polaroids of your reference photos or a special sweet treat, just let me know.
Because I limit my orders to ensure I can pour my energy into every layer, slots do fill up. If my books are currently closed, please join the waitlist—I promise it’s worth the wait.
