Commission a Portrait

If you are local to the Portland, OR metro area, you can commission a head-and-shoulders portrait of yourself or someone special!

Each piece is started during an in-person painting session, and finished afterwards based on a photo of the sitting. The sitting can be done at my studio (which is ADA accessible), or a public location of your choosing. I work in a loose, colorful style that tries to capture the subject’s energy. I’ve provided a few examples on this page for you to check out. We can chat about the vibe and tone of your portrait before the painting session, so it feels just right for you.

The finished piece is made from the finest artist-quality oil paints, on an archival museum series panel. The painting takes about a week to be dry and ready for pick-up. Local drop-off can also be arranged.

Kids Portraits

Because the portrait sittings require sitting still for a long period of time, I limit my commissions to kids 6 years old or older. The painting session for an individual kid between 6-10 years old will be 1 hour long, instead of the standard 2 hours.

Pricing

When booking any of the portrait commissions, you will pay a deposit to cover the cost of materials. The remaining balance is due at the end of the painting session, which can be done either with cash or through Venmo.

Individual Portraits … $75

This is the standard rate for either a 8x8 inch or 8x10 inch piece. It is the same for kids and adults.

Duo/Couples Portraits … $200

This is for two people to be painted together on an 16x20 inch piece. This could be family members, friends, couples, etc…

Weekend Bookings … $15+

Weekend appointments require me to secure childcare, so there's an additional $15/hour fee for each hour of the painting session. This fee is added onto the balance that is due at the end of the painting session.
