I hand-paint digital heirloom portraits from your favorite photographs. Each piece is created brushstroke by brushstroke, using a digital tablet and professional art software. This is not AI, not a filter, and not an “auto-paint” effect — it is true artistry, done by hand.

Modern, or Old Master’s. You can see examples here

You are hiring me to turn a photo with one subject (person, pet,) into a digital painting by hand. If your photo has more than one person or subject, you can add extra subjects to your order when you check out.

No. I never use AI, filters, or automated effects. Every portrait is painted by me, one stroke at a time, in my own artistic style. My work is thoughtful, intentional, and handcrafted — which is why it feels emotional and timeless.

For families who want a magical concept or a scene that doesn’t exist in a single photo, I offer The Custom Commission Edition. In these pieces, I design and paint a full storytelling scene from scratch — blending multiple references and hand-creating the environment in Photoshop before finishing it as a digital painting. This process is still 100% my work, not AI, not templated, and not outsourced.

Choose a clear, well-lit image with one subject. Be sure subject’s face is visible, sharp, and expressive. Natural light works beautifully. If you’re unsure, upload your top options and I’ll help you select the image that will make the strongest heirloom. If your photo has more than one subject, you can add them on during checkout.

About 2 to 3 weeks.

Because everything is painted by hand, I never rush the artwork and I honor the story behind it.

You’ll receive a high-resolution digital file via email. If you order a Wall Art Edition, your printed artwork will be shipped to your home, ready to display.

Yes. Your file will arrive in a size that fits your edition:

Yes. I can create heirloom art featuring babies, children, siblings, families, pets, or loved ones. Each portrait is crafted with the same care and intention.

When you commission a painting, you can expect to get a final piece that is similar to the examples you see in my gallery. I have my styles. I assess each image and make a creative decision based on how I see best to proceed. You can choose between a “modern” approach or an “Old Master’s” approach. Beyond that, it is the artist’s choice of how to complete the project.

Yes. Simple adjustments are included. More complex changes, especially storytelling composites , fall under The Custom Commission Edition.
