I've always been drawn to the precision and simple beauty of graphite portraiture and ink drawings.

CHOOSING A PORTRAIT
I work from photos, so the first step is to choose the right picture. Close-up images tend to work better than full-body shots, but I'm open to the picture you prefer! Pictures from your phone can work if they're in focus and use natural light.
​
We can work together to determine best image for your portrait.
Graphite Portrait
This is a standard graphite portrait and my most common type of portrait commission.
Graphite Pet Portrait
Would you like drawing of your fur baby? If so, I offer both graphite and colored pencil options. The graphite image has lovely, clean lines and a faster turnaround time for completion. I can scale these drawings to any size you like.

Colored pencil pet portrait
If you prefer your pet portrait in color, this is a great option. I can draw a full-body portrait of your pet or just a headshot.
​
Graphite Story Portrait
These drawings are more than just portraits. They tell stories about the person, and they are a special gift that will be treasured forever.
​
My storyportraits feature items in the background that tell stories about the subject. Customers have requested objects like Legos, Lake Michigan, constellations, mathematical equations, birds, unicorns, puzzles, and evergreen trees to include in their portraits. If you choose this option, you'll be able to direct what goes into the background.
​
I recommend a size of 14x18 or larger for these drawings.
SIZING & PRICES
Prices and sizes vary depending on the number of subjects in the drawing and whether it is in colored pencil or graphite.
