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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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. 

  3. 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.

  4. A Treasure to Keep – Your finished portrait will be a timeless piece, uniquely yours, ready to bring meaning and beauty to your space.
