Commissioned Portraits in Pastel

I paint people — a simple statement for a passion that I find only in portraiture or figurative work. As a portrait artist, I look for a very brief moment: that time when you are the most true to yourself. That fleeting emotion is the image I want to capture, where the finished portrait says that it can be no other person than you.

All of my portraits, figurative work and landscapes are created in pastel, a medium so beautiful, why work in anything else? Pure pigment, it colors the valleys and catches the high points of the paper, leaving stokes that sparkle like a prism. Subtle in lights or vivid in colors, pastel is perfect for your commission portraits.
