Here are some examples of my creative portraits. In most cases, I work from clients' photographs. I construct the Enhanced Giclee portraits by scanning photos into my computer and creating the portrait layout for the client to approve. This allows me to email the image to the client for faster response. Once the client has approved the image layout, I transfer it to an archival canvas using a museum quality giclee process. I then use layers of non-toxic, water-based glazes to achieve the final product, which has the look and feel of a classic painting. If the client desires, pieces can be gallery wrapped on 1.5" thick stretcher bars so framing is not necessary. This means that the image would actually wrap around the 1.5" thick outside edges of the canvas.

I create the Pop-Art style pieces using clients' photos as a starting point. I then begin breaking the image down to about 6 - 8 color values. Depending on the clients prefrences, I create up to 9 different color combinations based on the client's wishes. These are printed using museum quality inks on archival paper.

I can also provide framing services at wholesale prices.
