There's so many great reasons to commission a painting... 

  • Commemorate a life event or anniversary


Your photograph. Transformed.

Your work of art can be transformed into a painting from most any camera photo or image regardless of the background. In addition, you may also be able to use a digital file you had someone else photograph as long as we have permission. Send us a photo, or we can schedule a sitting.


 

 

 

 

Your Memory.
Reimagined.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your Loved One.
Memorialized.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Transform an old family photo into a painting.

 

 

 

Your Wedding Photo.
Transformed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


What is a painted portrait?


Painted portrait commissions combine traditional photographic portraiture with hand-applied painting artistry. Using a mixed media approach, I blend a variety of mediums and tools, from a camera to a tablet to more traditional artist mediums and oils on canvas.

 

Each portrait commission begins with a reference image and is transformed into a work of art, initially with hand-rendered modern brushwork, and later the painting is transferred to canvas and enhanced with texture, glazes and oil paints. In the end you'll have a painting that you'll love!

Worth Every Penny!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 

"I have thousands of photographs on my phone and yet none that were quite special enough to say "this is my James". Then I came across Bobbie and the paintings that she creates from snapshots and fell in love! I knew right away this is what would show him how special he is to me. When the painting arrived in the mail, he jumped up and down screaming "It is ME! It is James! Worth every penny spent! Thank you Bobbie for melting my heart with this beautiful painting."    
-Jeanine
