Custom Mixed Media Encaustic Portraits
One-of-a-Kind, Timeless Portraits in Encaustic
I am opening a limited number of commission spots for custom mixed media portraits. Whether you want to honor a beloved pet or a cherished loved one, I would be honored to create something truly special for you.
The Process
Each commission is a deeply personal collaboration. Here’s how it works:
-
Inspiration & Imagery – You provide 1-3 clear, high quality reference photos, and we’ll discuss composition, color palette, and any details you love from my previous work.
-
Artistic Alchemy – I blend encaustic, drawing, oil paint, pastels, gold leaf, and other materials to create a rich, layered piece infused with warmth, texture, and emotion.
-
The Magic of Encaustic – Encaustic painting dates back to ancient Egypt, with the Fayum mummy portraits that remain vibrant and beautifully intact today. The natural beeswax encapsulates and preserves the artwork, ensuring its longevity.
-
A Treasure to Keep – Your finished portrait will be a timeless piece, uniquely yours, ready to bring meaning and beauty to your space.
