A portrait created for a house of memory is never an immediate act.
Each commission is approached as a singular work, developed slowly through observation, layered painting, and sustained attention.

Only a limited number of portraits are undertaken. Each is created for a particular person, family, and setting.

THE PROCESS

1. Private conversation
The commission begins with a private exchange about the sitter, the purpose of the portrait, and the setting in which it will live.

2. Conception
Composition, scale, clothing, background, light, and overall character are developed individually.

3. Painting
The portrait is built slowly through a multilayered process. Nothing is accelerated for the sake of speed.

4. Completion
Final surface, framing, and delivery are arranged individually according to the work and its destination.

Each inquiry is read and answered personally.

Questions about sittings, references, timing, scale, or presentation can be discussed privately before any commitment is made.
