Memorial portraits

A quiet, lasting way to keep them close

When a companion is gone, the house feels different. A portrait can't fill that space, but it can hold their face, their look and their spirit somewhere you'll see it every day.

There's no right time

Some people reach out within days of a loss. Others wait months, or years. Whenever you're ready is the right time, and if you're only looking for now, that's okay too. You're welcome to take your time here.

About your photos

Many people worry that they don't have a "good enough" photo, especially after a sudden loss. Please send what you have, even phone snapshots. I'll look through them with you and tell you honestly what's possible.

A gentle guide to choosing photos

We go at your pace

Tell me as much or as little about them as feels right. Before I begin drawing, I send you a mockup so you can see the plan, and I'll keep you updated along the way. If something isn't right at the end, we'll sort it out together.

A gift for someone grieving

A memorial portrait can be a deeply meaningful gift for a friend or family member who has lost a companion. Mention it in your note and we'll talk through photos and timing together.

Seeing the drawing in person brought me to tears — you've captured every single detail of my girl, every wild fur and cowlick. I've spent hours just staring at it, completely speechless and blown away.

When you're ready

Reaching out is simply a conversation. You can tell me about them, ask questions, and decide later.

If you'd rather wait

Stay in touch, quietly

Studio letters arrive only a few times a year, with new work and a note whenever commission spots open. Nothing more.
