Commissions
If you’re interested in a custom piece inspired by my work, I’d be glad to hear from you. I accept a limited number of commissions each year, including portraits and other subjects. Each piece is created using the medium that best suits the subject, from charcoal and pastel to watercolor or oil paint.
