Traditional Graphite Portraits
Portraits done in graphite (pencil) in a realistic style. Both of these are based on a single photograph each, though I can also work from multiple photographs or live to create a finished piece. Both were created as gifts.

For Paper Silhouettes4.7Risa was great to work with and provided a professional and timely product. We discussed my what I had in mind and she offered great suggestions to improve my design. She even added the smallest details I hadn't even asked for which made the final product extra special. Thank you for working with me and giving me a gift that will be a cherished reminder of my children's beautiful wedding. I would recommend Risa and her unique product if you are looking for something extra special.

For Britney Spears Shaped Pillow as gift!5.0I couldn't be happier with my entire experience. Great communication during the whole process, really easy to review the progress and make changes and it was all done about a week sooner than I expected. The final project was amazing. Risa really did Rock It!
