Portrait Process
The commission process is actually quite simple. Sarah
speaks/meets with the client(s), and together they come
up with a vision for the art work.
Clients sometimes have an exact idea of how the finished
piece will look, while others may ask her for suggestions
until a final composition is worked out. She is able to create
commissions for clients around the world without having to meet them
in person.
Sarah can work directly from photos (altering them as needed),
or piece together images from different photos. She is able
to incorporate imagination into the commission if required,
and can paint or draw subjects from life.
If no suitable photos are available, she will arrange for a
personal photo session.
Once a decision has been reached for the piece, both parties
sign a simple contract outlining the size and due date etc.
A fifty percent deposit is then given, and Sarah starts the work.
Once the client(s) are pleased with their commission, the
remaining fifty percent is given.
Sarah has been creating portraiture for satisfied clients
around the world for over twenty years. She uses only high
quality materials in her work to ensure the commissions she
creates (when reasonably cared for), can be enjoyed for
generations.

fully tailored to compliment each unique client.
Her custom pieces are often requested as gifts for birthdays,

Sarah is pleased to announce that she is now an official
