Fine Art - People and Portraits


“Willing Hands” is a series of portraits focusing on hands at work. In this series, I want to portray unique portraits of individuals while never showing their faces. I want to explore all the different ways we use our hands- for work, for leisure, for connecting with others.  I have always been fascinated by hands as a vehicle for telling a story- not only do we talk with our hands, but our hands themselves reflect our life experiences through their individual physicality and character. Hands are a portrait of a life lived. This series tells the story of a multitude of moments that make up the richness of life, and the joy of living.

I often take on fine art commissions such as portraits, landscapes, and gifts. Commissioned work can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks. Price will vary based on size, complexity, deadline, and framing options. Please let me know what you're looking for, and I'll get back to you with a few different options to satisfy your vision and budget! 

I am comfortable working in watercolor, pastel, ink, and mixed media. I typically choose my medium based on what I think will best represent the subject matter. 

-House portraits are typically done mixed-media; in ink, graphite, and acrylic/watercolor.
-Landscapes are typically pastel, although can also be watercolor.
-Portraits can be ink and watercolor, or pastel in some cases.
