a little about me . . .

what I do & what I make
I’m a wedding artist / illustrator and portrait painter fascinated by the human face & form (and the occasional pineapple).  My original paintings and prints are available for purchase at the Shop link in the navigation bar.

shipping — to US & Canada 
I currently offer free shipping within the U.S. on all print & painting purchases as well as a flat fee of $50.00 for each item shipped to Canada.

weddings / portrait commissions 
Feel free to contact me (917-687-8120) if you would like to chat about an upcoming wedding & receive a quote, see any paintings that are for sale in my studio via video chat or if you are interested in commissioning any work.  You can also use the contact page (Say Hello!) to let me know a little about what you’d like to talk about.

Portrait painting commissions start at $3,000.  Live event illustrated weddings start at $12,500.  I’m available for travel worldwide.
