Portraits

Purchase Artwork

Original artworks may be available for purchase or in the form of a giclee print of the original - available in a variety of sizes.

You may also use this form to have a custom portrait created for you.  Portraits are painted from photos and/or from live sittings - which can be arranged at the studio in NYC (as well as a photo shoot in the case that a current photograph is not available).  Please note - photos of posed, smiling people are not adequate source images from which to create artful paintings.  HIGHLY suggested are casual photos or shots with dynamic lighting and relaxed closed-mouth smiles (if any).  The most famous portrait of all time - Mona Lisa - has beguiled the centuries with her closed-mouth smile.  Many others are not smiling at all.  That said - there are times when a more humorous approach is desired in which case big toothy smiles may be preferred.  But in general they are not recommended.

Send us a good photo, you'll get a great painting.  Send a GREAT photo, you'll get a portrait that will likely be treasured as a family heirloom for generations.
