FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing structure is very straightforward - I charge by body parts: head and shoulders; half figure with hands, full figure etc. It can take me as long to paint a pair of hands as a face, so my fees are a reflection of the time required for each level of complexity. My fees are published on my website.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have a Bachelor's degree in fine art, with a minor in business administration. After graduation from college it dawned on my that I'd have to (gulp) support myself. I entered graduate school and received a master's degree in health care management, and spent the next seventeen years as a health care executive in Phoenix AZ. When my son was born in 1989, I looked at his face and decided to paint him. I developed a business plan to transition from the health care field and here I am, 22 years later.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I work with each client to create a treasured heirloom of original fine art, capturing the personality and uniqueness of each subject I paint. I can help them to capture moments in time, love, honor and respect. I particularly enjoy painting posthumous portraits to capture families' memories of their loved ones,
