Work with an artist who looks at you, like you’re magic.

Mother of Pearl. Energia. Portrait for writer Olga Garcia Echeverria by Karina Puente.

Portraits you’ll never forget

Made for the ones you never forget. Each portrait begins with your story. Share photos and an idea, and I’ll share a vision for honoring this moment. I bring my full attention to the emotion behind the gift and translate it into color, shape, and energy.

Because the spirit never dies

To honor someone who has passed, it is important to remember that when someone is in spirit, they are with us. You feel them in the moments you are joyful and uplifted. They are here now. In spirit.

Wrap the work in flying colors

Designers, photographers, and creative producers commission portraits as gifts that wrap a project in flying colors. A powerful way to mark a milestone, close a project, or honor a connection.

Give her something that moves her

She lights up when she talks about her dog. Or her horse. Or the one who’s been by her side through it all. You’re looking for something that moves her. This is it.

Begin with a photo, end with a keepsake

To begin, click Place Order or send me a note with 3 to 5 photos. I’ll reply with details and bring your portrait to life with precision and care.
