Frequently Asked Questions

I do not offer framing services at this time and highly recommend bringing your completed artwork to a professional framing shop. Pastel portraits are delicate in nature and can easily smudge; as a result it is important to carefully handle the artwork and protect it before display.

Each portrait is hand drawn using professional quality art materials.  All my work is created with pastels, which includes pencils, sticks, and PanPastels. The brands I most commonly use are StabiloCarbothello, Faber Castell, and Caran d'Ache. Clairefontaine Pastelmat is the only paper I create pet portraits and wildlife originals on as it is archival quality, and creates incredibly smooth, vibrant results.    

I share all of my artwork on my website and social media accounts, but if the portrait is for someone else and you would like me to wait to share photos or videos until after it has been gifted, just let me know!
