The Painted Portrait
Photographs, reimagined as art
A slow, intentional way to turn your favorite photo into heirloom art.
These painted portraits are something I’ve been quietly working on behind the scenes—slow, intentional, and completely done by hand.
Each piece starts with one of your photographs and is carefully painted by me, turning a moment you already love into a piece of artwork meant to be displayed, kept, and passed down.
What Makes These Different
Painted by hand
This isn’t a filter or preset. Each portrait takes hours of hands-on work and attention to detail.
Created from your own photo
The image you choose becomes the foundation—your people, your moment, your story.
Soft, timeless style
Neutral tones, gentle texture, and a painterly finish designed to feel calm and classic.
Made to be printed
These are created with physical artwork in mind—not just for screens.
How it works
You choose one image from your gallery
I hand-paint your portrait from scratch
You receive a finished piece designed for print
From first brushstroke to final detail, each painted portrait takes 6–10 hours to complete.
Each painting is created slowly—there’s no rush and no shortcuts here.
How it works
Painted portraits are created from existing images and are available in a limited quantity each month.
If you’ve worked with me before, painted portraits are available directly inside your online gallery as an artwork add-on.
You can choose the image you love most and select the painted portrait option when ordering.
