Portrait Inquiry
Each of my portraits include imagery inspired by information I gather from clients about their subject which, upon approval, are then intricately hand cut + assembled with an archival quality--- each step giving the piece dimension and character. There are many varying elements, some painted, some drawn, some cut, some glued, resulting in a very dimensional and fresh take on the tradition of portraiture.

Timeline?
-Currently I am booked out until March/April of 2023. Please note that the previously quoted lead time is subject to change at any time if another commission is booked from the time this email is sent.
What do you need from me?
Photos! Upon booking, I will provide guidance (a handy pdf with example photos) about the kind of photos I prefer to work from, but I don't take them myself. Happy to connect you with a portrait photographer in your area. I can also send the photog that same pdf so they know what we're aiming for.
Sizing?
-I can do any size but don't go smaller than 10" on any one side of the piece. (my hands can only cut detail so small!) -The sizes below are just some examples of popular sizes + price points to help with decision making! Feel free to ask for another dimension and I can give you an estimate, if you don't see it listed below.
How are these made?
These pieces are a mixed media assemblage of hand cut archival matte paper, oil, color pencil, and acrylic. They are all dimensional pieces, with intricate detail, not just a flat piece of paper or a print.
When do you need photos by?
I don't need photos upfront for booking a commission, 4 weeks before a client's slot arrives, I aim to have the finalized high resolution images we have chosen in my possession.
How do we get started?
-The main things I need from you in order to book a commission slot are your preferred size and quantity. From there I will send you an invoice via email for the deposit, which you can pay online!
I’d be glad to answer follow-up questions via email, or we can always set a call and get to know each other better.
