Portrait Queue

I truly can’t thank everyone enough for the incredible support I’ve received over the past couple of years. Because of you, I’ve been able to grow so much as an artist — and now, as we move into year three, it’s time for a few important changes.

As many of you know, life is full right now — with two school-age kids, a newborn, a full-time event rental business with my husband, and still trying to be the best wife and mom I can be. Needless to say, life is beautifully busy. And while painting is something I absolutely love, it’s also a process that can’t be rushed.

I get messages almost daily asking, “Where’s my portrait?” or “What’s the progress?” and I completely understand the excitement. But what many don’t realize is just how long my list has become.

So, going forward:

There will now be a Portrait Queue available to view here

When you see yourself at #1, that means I’m currently working on your portrait. I will no longer provide specific due dates — life happens, and I don’t want to over-promise. Portraits will never take a year, but depending on my list, it may take up to 4–5 months. Please check the queue to see how many portraits are ahead of yours at this time.

If you need a portrait by a specific date, a $75 rush fee will now be required. Without it, all portraits will be completed in the order they were received.

I appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as my art — and my family — continue to grow. Thank you for sticking with me through every brushstroke.
