Sometimes I make my own version of ‘royal portraits’ as artistic or memorial art. I take commissions in whatever you want them to wear (smile.)

Love what you’ve done!
These words usually accompany a new hairdo or living room design.
But this was the response from a father, freshly grieving the loss of his only son,
viewing what I created from the candid image he sent me.
These natural words really meant a lot to me on an emotional level,
knowing what this picture meant to him.
I love what I do
in creating something personal and special for those who are bereaved:
remembering and honoring their loved ones in contemplative art.
If this idea ‘sparks’ a feeling for the need
to see a treasured photo transformed into a memorial portrait,
I would love to help make it a reality.
May your loved one’s memory be a blessing.

His dad asked for an updated image.
But rather than take a new one,
I sought an expression with staying power,
containing the potential
to stand in lieu of contact for months,
and soothe the pangs
of conscience and distance
until they met again.

A local young bride’s wedding photographs are now ready for her home.
I was extremely pleased to have two heirloom frames to work with: these images look amazing in antique settings!
Another pleasure was in working with a younger person’s style of communication and relating.
So lovely to meet another who values images that hold an vibrant personal energy for her home. I whole-heartedly agree.

Today’s On The Easel is an infant’s portrait in natural light.
Very small infants are absolutely lovely while they observe their world around them –
They truly embody innocence, essential energy, and innate purity.
I’d love to help record the fresh energy of newborns, toddlers and early youth
that changes so quickly (don’t we moms know!)

Today on The Easel, I have a contemplative photograph with subtle and elemental symbols that show something different each time you look at it. This ballet of shape and pattern occurred during a moment teaching photography on a snowy day on the far side of Chicago:
In the photo above, it is the photograph behind my head.
