Introduction

After receiving my Bachelors of Science in Painting, I spent the last eleven years working professionally as an artist, working on commission pieces that ranged from children's book illustrations, to custom portraits and wall murals. My projects have spanned several styles, from realism to fantasy. I am experienced in working with watercolor, and acrylic. I love painting and the creative process!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

PRICING: Children's Watercolor Illustrated Books: I price my books per illustrated page. The pages are divided into three types, vignette, single page, and double page spread. Vignette: $200 Single Page: $400 Double Page: $600 Murals: Starting at $20-$50 per square foot plus cost of supplies. Please reach out for specific pricing, as pricing is dependent on size, scope and complexity.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I like to chat with my client to discover what ideas they have in mind. During this chat we will find out if you have a theme in mind, or a certain story or landscape that inspires you? We will also discuss the option between the use of reference photos or doing a photo shoot.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I received a Bachelor's of Science in Painting in 2009. I have worked professionally in this industry for more than 15 years.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with small and large businesses, individuals and families.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I recently completed a full set of illustrations for a children’s book published by Sawdust Publishing. The project included 32 pages of artwork and involved a collaborative process from start to finish. We began with a photo shoot to capture reference images, followed by detailed pencil sketches for each illustration. Once the drafts were approved, I moved into the painting phase, which took about six months. Altogether, the project spanned approximately nine months and was a wonderful experience—one of my favorite projects to date.
