Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right size for my portrait?

Choosing the right size depends on where you plan to display your artwork. Consider the wall space available and how prominent you want the piece to be, and if you plan on framing the finished piece afterwards. If you’re unsure, I’m happy to provide recommendations based on your preferences and space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the typical turnaround time for a portrait?


The creation process usually takes between 1 to 2 months, depending on the complexity and size of the portrait as well as the volume of other commissions at the time of the request. I prioritize quality and artistry, ensuring that each piece receives the attention it deserves. I’ll keep you updated throughout the process!


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see a preview of the portrait before it’s completed?

Absolutely! Once the painting is at a stage where I can share a preview, I’ll send it to you for your feedback. Your satisfaction is important to me, and I welcome any adjustments you may want before the final touches are made.


Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don’t have high-quality photos to provide?

No worries! While high-quality images help capture details more accurately, I can work with what you have. This is why I typically ask for several photos to draw from, the lighting may be better in one but the pose may be better in another. Feel free to send any pictures you think would work, and we can discuss the best approach to achieve your desired outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will my portrait be delivered?


This will depend on your location. For an additional fee, your completed portrait will be carefully packaged to ensure it arrives safely at your doorstep. I’ll provide tracking information once it’s shipped so you can anticipate its arrival. If you prefer a local pickup option free of charge, we can arrange that as well!
