All commissions begin with a photo. I prefer to work from my own photography when possible. My waiting list is approximately 8 - 12 months, but please consider having your photos taken in Spring, Summer and Fall when horses' coats are the best & shed out. Please call or email to setup an appointment. All photos are archived and may be used for your pencil, oil or digital color portrait at anytime. Once a photo has been chosen I ask for a 50% deposit before starting the piece. Rates and time line vary depending on size and medium, please call to inquire. My goal and expertise is to create an exacting portrait which will reveal the true personality of your animal. Once complete I will send a digital photo for approval. Once the portrait has been approved I ask for the balance due before shipping. Picture framing is available for an additional cost(I do all of my own framing). I also offer many gift items with your portrait as well: Handbags, Pillows, Note cards, Ceramic Tiles, to name a few. I look forward to working with you to create a memory to last a lifetime!

FYI
All photos taken on the showgrounds in which I am a vendor are FREE of charge.This includes photos for custom Handbags.
