Watercolor Classes and Workshops
I offer watercolor classes and workshops for students of all levels. Together, we explore essential techniques, color theory, value studies, and composition, all while learning to translate observations into expressive paintings. Classes may focus on landscapes, florals, coastal scenes, or other themed subjects. My goal is to help students gain confidence, develop their own style, and enjoy the meditative, joyful process of painting.Summer Into Art

Themes can be customized, from simple landscapes and florals to seasonal or coastal-inspired subjects. All levels are welcome, and I adapt the pace and content to suit your group.

Commissioning a Painting
Watercolor Home Portrait or Custom Work
I love creating custom artwork—it’s a joy to bring your ideas to life. Whether it’s a meaningful gift or a special piece for your home or business, I work closely with you to capture the memory, place, or moment that matters most.
I can paint from your photographs or, if you’re local, from photos I take myself. Favorite locations, treasured travel memories, and house portraits are all beautiful subjects.
For house portraits, I can help you choose the best angle, simplify visual clutter, and recommend photographing in full sun for dynamic shadows. Clear, in-focus photos always give the best results. I strive to capture the unique details that make each home special, reflecting its warmth and personality in every painting.
Commission pricing varies depending on size and complexity, typically starting around $150 for a 5 × 7 and increasing for larger formats. One of the most popular sizes is 11 × 14, which typically ranges from $400 to $500. As every piece is unique, I recommend contacting me directly to discuss your project and receive a personalized quote.
Sharing a few reference photos is helpful in determining pricing, as well as allowing me to make recommendations on composition, angle, season, and size.
Minis, Bookmarks, Hand-Painted Cards & Printed Cards
In addition to larger commissions, I create miniature watercolor paintings, hand-painted notecards, and bookmarks—perfect for gifts or keepsakes.
Miniature Watercolors (3 × 4 inches)
Each piece is individually presented in a protective sleeve or can be matted in a gold or white frame. These “minis” make unique gifts for weddings, anniversaries, baby showers, corporate events, or any special occasion.

Live Guest Portraits – An Artful Gift for Your Special Occasion
As I've embarked on the journey of live painting, I've discovered just how much joy these hand-painted keepsakes bring to special celebrations. Each guest portrait is painted on-site during your event, giving your guests a unique and meaningful keepsake to take home. More than a favor, each painting becomes a lasting reminder of a beautiful day shared with the people they love.Inquire About Your Event
Email me to inquire about your event and request a personalized quote. I will respond within 24–48 hours with information about my live guest portrait service, pricing, and availability.
Before Your Event
To reserve your date, a signed contract and a 20% non-refundable deposit are required.
Before your wedding or event, we'll schedule a consultation to discuss the timeline, guest count, venue layout, and any special requests to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day of your celebration.
On the Day of Your Event
I arrive approximately one hour before guest arrival to set up my painting station.
As your guests enjoy the celebration, my assistant will discreetly photograph them for reference while I paint. Each portrait takes approximately 5–10 minutes, allowing me to complete 6–12 portraits per hour, depending on the level of detail.
If I am unable to complete every portrait during the event, I will finish the remaining paintings in my studio within the following week and ship them to you at no additional cost. Whenever possible, guests will receive their portraits before the end of the celebration.

• Original 5 × 7 inch watercolor guest portraits
• Painted on 300 GSM handmade cotton watercolor paper
