I'm a professional artist specializing in fine art paintings, pet portraits and illustration. I have a fine arts degree with a major in graphic design. I've had over thirty-five years experience in creating custom artwork and design. I create artwork using a wide range of media: traditional watercolor, acrylic, oils, and pen and ink as well as modern hand-painted digital paintings on canvas and archival paper. I use only the highest quality archival materials in creating my work.
Once you choose the subject of your custom painting, we'll work together to make it a reality. Will it be a portrait of your child, a favorite pet or animal, a house portrait or a treasured family memory? I'll closely involve you in the creative process throughout the various stages of painting. With your suggestions and input, every detail will be brought to perfection. It's great fun for you to see your painting develop, and working together in this way we'll create the exact "masterpiece" YOU have in mind!
Painting is my passion; I'm committed to creating the most heartwarming and elegant paintings that I possibly can for my customers, who attest to my patience, close attention to perfection and ability to please!

For Inquiry about a custom pet painting5.0MJ was such a joy to work with! I had a pretty unique custom pet art project that I wasn't quite sure how to make it into reality, when I found MJ and shared the idea with her, she immediately started providing many ideas, examples and mockups to help me visualize it. She had many choices of the medium too, and we picked a beautiful wood cut out format in the end that I'd never have imagined to begin with! The creation process was smooth and full of fun, not being an artistic person myself, I asked for her expert opinions on many of my thoughts and she's given me such great advice, that the final art piece turned out stunning :) I already have another project in mind that I'd love to work with her on, I'll definitely be coming back to MJ in the near future!

For Commission Portraits In Watercolor5.0MJ was wonderful! She asked a lot of questions to make sure she knew what I wanted. She did a portrait of me for my husband as an anniversary gift. I am more than happy with her work. She is extremely detailed oriented and she consulted with me a lot to get everything just right. She is affable, professional, and gives suggestions to enhance the project. I am definitely going to be working with her again! I highly recommend her!

For Scottish Terrier Dog Silhouette Fine Art Print5.0There is so much to say about this particular artist, Mary Jill Lemieur. Communication throughout has been excellent and even though I am in France, Mary has always seemed to be on the end of an email.
My project was simple in that I only wanted a larger version of what she had to offer. She came back with suggestions of a larger size but, my fault, the size was in inches instead of centimeters, which posed a problem in a country that was metric, therefore frame sizes were difficult to find.
Obviously, postage to Europe was going to be huge, but Mary kindly offered to include another print for the same cost, and I gratefully accepted. Nothing seemed too much trouble.
When Mary had completed the project, she gave me an estimate of the cost with postage, which I paid. She then let me know when it had been posted and so, 5 days later, it arrived at my house in France. It was indeed, very well packed and arrived in perfect condition. The next day, I went out to find frames.
I am very happy with her efforts to help out and give me exactly what I wanted.

For Goopy and Gilbert "Save the Date"4.7We got a gorgeous painting. Mary Jill took our paragraph log request and turned it into a work of art. Our save the dates are special because of her. I would recommend her work to anyone looking for an irreverent animal portrait. And who doesn't want one of those?

For Todd's Painting5.0I was very pleased on how the piece came out, truly great! Mary was great to work with and open to hearing any and all of my ideas and inputs, of which there were many, but she never hesitated and was more than willing to accommodate anything I might've thrown her way. No complaints, only positives would work with again and recommend to anyone!
