I create art that turns what you carry inside—energy, emotion, memory, story—into something you can see, stand before, and breathe with. As a solo illustrator and portrait artist, I offer sketches, detailed drawings, expressive paintings from my Heart series, and “energy-becomes-art” pieces created from your unique heartbeat, voice, or breath pattern. My mission is simple: more harmony, less noise. I lead with empathy and deep listening so your piece feels grounded in who you are, not just how you look. If you’re looking for art that feels personal, honest, and quietly powerful, share your vision with me and let’s create something beautiful and truly yours. Booking terms — please read before booking, so everything is clear up front: • Every piece is custom-quoted per piece, and I confirm your firm price in writing before any work begins — no surprises, and no price changes after we agree unless the scope changes and we agree that in writing too. • Booking: a 50% deposit through Thumbtack secures your spot, and it is non-refundable once booked. The remaining 50% is due on delivery (pieces) or completion (murals). • Your timeline starts when I have BOTH your deposit and any reference photos, measurements, or materials your piece needs — not at our first message. • One round of small revisions is included. Bigger changes, extra pieces, or additions are quoted in writing before I do them. • Approving a sketch or progress photo means I continue as shown. If approval takes a little longer, your delivery date may move by a similar amount. • Need to reschedule? Tell me as early as you can — your deposit carries over to the new date we agree in writing, so you don't pay it twice. If you cancel, the deposit is kept; if I ever have to cancel, you get a full refund for work not delivered. • Payments for Thumbtack jobs stay on Thumbtack. • Personal-use pieces are for your own enjoyment; commercial use is only included when your quote says so in writing. • For murals: you own the property or have the owner's permission, and travel and wall prep are included only as stated in your quote. • I may photograph the finished artwork itself for my portfolio, unless you ask me in writing beforehand not to — I never share your address or private details.See more
