Custom Pet Portrait
I use a technique in a digital program that utilizes a stylus and tablet with custom digital brushes that transforms your photograph into an amazing painted portrait. These are not just run through a filter or an app as seen on some other offerings and sites. Utilizing traditional painting techniques (you can actually see the brush strokes as in a traditional painting) along with digital expertise, I will create an art piece that you will be proud to hang in your home. The style can be traditional to wild and anything in between. Your input is sought along the way to ensure that you receive just what you want. Presented as a high quality 8x10 inch canvas gallery wrap, stretched over a sturdy .75" - 1.5" wooden frame. Finished with a UV- and scratch-resistant coating. It can be hung directly, unframed, onto wall as a painting would hang in a gallery. Other sizes available. Pricing dependent on number of subjects, the complexity of the image, background,and size of final piece.

My formal training began with film in the darkroom. Now, I am working with digital imagery. I feel the same magic come alive when I open an image in Photoshop as I did working in the darkroom.
Much of my digital work is influenced by the psychedelic pop culture images of my childhood. Using richly saturated colors with an emphasis on luminosity I create a somewhat surreal image.
My photographic images begin in the RAW format. I often begin producing multiple layers with various filters and effects. I then add and subtract from the various components of the image. Some parts of the image might only have one layer, while others may have ten or more layers or effects to produce the look and feel that I wish to convey. Occasionally I find photographic image that stands alone in it’s beauty and uniqueness and I only wish to share it in it’s simplicity.
