Every piece is one of a kind, made by hand from the actual elements of your celebration: the canvas and composition of your ceremony, the shards of a broken glass, the lace from your dress, and the petals of your bouquet all memorializing the moments you love the most.

CUSTOM ILLUSTRATED PORTRAITS
02
Your moment,
reimagined.
In my studio, I combine traditional painting methods with various print making techniques, all detailed by hand with ink, acrylic, oil, and other mixed media to create a piece that is entirely yours. This piece of art is created from your wedding photos, bouquet blooms, dress trimmings, monogram, odds & ends — rendered in a style that feels like fine art, not a printout. Each portrait is entirely unique and loved with the same care as the day it depicts.
Each piece is tailored to your preferred size, composition and living your space. Reach out to chat about the custom piece you'd like to have created.
