Commissions: Your life as original art.
I love turning your special moments and places into heirloom-quality art.
Whether it’s Grandma and Grandpa’s house, a scene from a special vacation, your first home together, the place you got engaged, or just a scene you love, I can turn it into something you’ll love and/or love gifting.

Special Houses
We sold my grandparents’ house last year. It was the hub of the family, and “home” to all of us. I wanted to keep a little bit of it, even after the new family got to make it their home, so I painted it. I wanted to pay tribute to all the holidays and card games and talks around the kitchen table. All the kids and grandkids got their own copy.
I’d love to paint your special house, too! Maybe it was Grandma’s house, or maybe the first place you bought together. Or the place you raised your babies.

Special Places
There’s a funny story behind this photo. It involves a tsunami warning (false alarm) and me losing about a year off my life.
There’s also a lot of great memories behind it. My kids got to swim in the ocean for the first time. And snorkel with rainbow-colored fish and a sea turtle. And taste all the tropical fruits we could find.
What’s your beautiful, special place? The place you got engaged? The mountains you hiked last year? The place your son got married? Your favorite bench at the park?

Family Crests
We love celebrating “us.”
The Arch to represent where I grew up. The water tower from our new hometown. The fruit trees my husband babies. The Katy Trail for that amazing hike/bike trip we did a few years ago…best vacation we’ve ever had. The treehouse our kids helped build. All of our initials.
What does your family love? What are things that mark special times in your life? I’d love to help make a crest to help celebrate you!
These are great for weddings, families, extended families, etc.
