Pursuing a Passion

      Painting has become a passion of mine, a creative outlet. I believe God gave me a desire to be creative, I think that's where I get my love of photography and now painting! For a few years now I have admired fine art portraits by other photographers and just wished I could do that!  So 18 months ago I began taking classes, learning from a Master Painter, who gave me instructions, the tools I needed and the personal critiques to help me become a portrait artist.  I'm still taking classes but I have become a little more confident in my abilities. I have been painting portraits of my grandchildren and a few clients. 

     My hope is that I can create beautiful Artisan Portraits of my family for my home. But, it would also be a great honor and pleasure to create something beautiful for your home! I want to share just a few portraits I have painted and I will be adding an entire gallery of paintings to my website soon.   If you love this fine art painting style I would love to talk with you about commissioning a portrait for you.
