FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I will work with the customer on fees and payments. Discounts are offered at various times during the year. Please inquire to see which ones may be available for your commissioned portrait order.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, a determination of the desired outcome for the portrait project and assurance that I can provide a satisfying result. Then we proceed to size, cost, payment options and next to a discussion of the subject(s), the desired timeline and available photos and/or in person meet up with the pet if applicable. As work begins I send the customer frequent photo updates of how the work is progressing.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
During my growing up years I was a student in a semi private art studio for a few years. Throughout my junior and senior high years I took advanced art classes. During my adult life as a wife, mother and music teacher, I did portraits more infrequently but in recent years have reconnected with the local art community, have taken some online and some in person short term classes and have learned from the practice of returning to more frequent drawing, sketching and commission works.
