A client once said to me after receiving her portrait, “Now I’m a piece of art—and I can live forever!” We both laughed, but her words stayed with me. There’s something truly special about owning a painting of someone you cherish. It becomes more than just an image; it’s a lasting tribute to their presence in your life.

Another moment when a client came to pick up his late son's portrait, he didn’t say, “It looks like him.” Instead, he said, “It is him.” Hearing those words was the most gratifying reward for the effort I poured into capturing the essence of someone I’ve never met.

I am very grateful to have the ability to create these enduring pieces, preserving the memory of your loved ones in a way that lasts for generations.
