The Portrait Experience

is a rewarding family venture producing an heirloom that captures the heart and soul of loved ones.

Would you like an abstract or themed background? Do you have a ‘Dreamer’ with specific interests?

Some key considerations are where the portrait will hang (size and color) and do you prefer a formal or an informal look (clothing, photo session, background).

Portrait Fees:

Starting prices are listed here. A common size for a head & shoulders portrait is 24″x 18″.  Larger sizes are available. 

• 8″x 10″ $350
• 9″x 12″ $450
• 11″x 14″ $550
• 16″x 20″  $950

• 22″x28″  $1800
• 24″x36″  $2500
• 30″x40″  $4000

Additional costs are based on the following factors: the number of people or pets in the painting; the intricacy of clothing, jewelry and props, the complexity of the background setting, and the actual size of the canvas. For each additional figure in the same portrait add 50%, pets add 25%.  A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required to begin the painting process. Balance due at completion of the commission and acceptance of the client.

The above prices do not include sales tax, framing, shipping/insurance, or travel/lodging expenses.
