Working with you to ensure a portrait within your budget and personal vision is always the first step. The fees will depend on the number of subjects, dimensions required, clothing, hands, complexity of background, and inclusion of pets. But, whatever the size, the portrait will radiate color and beauty. Artist and subject are bound to have a special relationship based on mutual respect and the search for truth. It is a quest well ventured. The results will last for hundreds of years.

The journey begins with you, the client. Your choice makes the difference. I am always interested in talking to someone who is enthusiastic about portraits. If you are, call me!

Aloha,

One-third of the projects basic cost is required upon agreement of the contract with an additional one-third after the approval of the color study or first approval of the 'in-process' painting.
