Hand-Painted Custom Portraits & Personalized Art
I turn your most cherished memories into custom acrylic paintings, from rustic wood slices to canvas portraits that tell your unique story.
This one has my whole heart. I created this custom portrait on a heart-shaped canvas with a 'Lover' themed sky for a fellow Swiftie. It’s a perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or just to celebrate your own love story.
This was a full-circle moment for me, painting a portrait of Leo, the adorable German Shepherd of my former life coach. This piece was my first international order, flying all the way to the US, and it shows just how much our furry friends mean to us.
I love that my art can bring people together, even when they're miles apart. This couple was in a long-distance relationship and didn't have a nice photo together, so I merged two separate images to create this special moment for them.
This was my first time painting a Van Gogh 'Starry Night' themed portrait and I had so much fun with it. If you have a favorite artist or a specific aesthetic in mind, we can work together to create a background that is uniquely you.
Here’s the final reveal of the biggest and heaviest commission I've painted so far. I'm so grateful for clients who trust me with large-scale pieces like this family portrait, which now has a special place in their home.
This is the final look of a detailed solo portrait commission. I focused on capturing every detail, from the suit and sunglasses to the luxury car and the mansion in the background, to create a powerful and personalized piece of art.
A portrait is more than just a painting; it's a complete gifting experience. For this Valentine's order, the client wanted to add memorable polaroids and the couple's favorite chocolate to make the gift extra special.
I love painting on different surfaces, like these mini wooden slices. This piece captures a couple enjoying a sunset view, turning a simple photo into a rustic and charming keepsake. These are perfect for smaller, budget-friendly gifts.
About Featured
Since I limit my commission slots to ensure I pour enough heart into every layer, it is best to check availability early. Whether you are looking for a rustic wood slice portrait or a larger acrylic canvas, we will start by chatting about your photos—I can even merge subjects from different pictures into one frame if you do not have a group shot.
My Approach to Custom Art
I believe a painting should be more than just a likeness on a wall. It is a way to freeze a moment, whether it is a couple laughing, a pet sleeping, or a 'Lover' era sky background for a fellow Swiftie. My work is primarily acrylic-based, but I love experimenting with surfaces—from 4-inch rustic wood slices to large-scale stretched canvases.
How We Can Collaborate
- The Vision: We start by talking about the vibe you want. You can send me photos, tell me about the specific aesthetic (like Van Gogh stars or Ghibli skies), or ask me to add details like names, dates, or quotes.
- The Merging: If you are in a long-distance relationship or don't have a photo where everyone is looking at the camera, I specialize in combining separate images into a single, cohesive composition.
- The Gifting Experience: I want the arrival of your painting to feel like an event. Every commission comes gift-wrapped with wax seals, dried flowers, and options for handwritten notes or polaroids, making it a perfect present for anniversaries, Rakhi, or birthdays.
Why Choose Hand-Painted
Art is subjective, and my process is deeply personal. I sketch, layer, and varnish each piece by hand, ensuring the skin tones and expressions feel authentic. Because each piece is handmade, it requires time—which is why I operate with a waitlist. If you have a specific date in mind, especially for gifting, please reach out as soon as you have an idea.
