holiday orders are full
My holiday season order waiting list is now full. Custom artwork orders placed from here on out won't be able to be completed in time for the Holidays.
As an alternative, I have an On Its Way Certificate option. This is a perfect choice to let your recipient know that you have a special gift -- literally on its way! You place the order and all your special someone has to do is sit back and wait for their surprise to arrive. You will receive a certificate and full color brochure to give to your recipient on Christmas Day. Click here for more info. And of course Gift Certificates are available too!

new from my studio!
I just finished up this custom artwork which I created for a client who loves to bake pie (and her husband and daughter who love to eat it!). This was a big piece at 18x24. It was fun to work that large and I LOVED working on this theme!!
To complete the family portrait we included their son who passed away. We decided to feature him in a photo frame in the background so he can be represented with the family too. This was such a fun piece to work on and the client loved it too.
Here's what she said: I adore the piece and can't wait to receive it! Thanks so much for your speedy work and phenomenal creativity. It was a pleasure to work with you. Thanks again!

The bride provided the Ketubah text in English and Hebrew and then I combined it into the artwork.
When I shipped the artwork I sent along the same pen that I used in the line drawing so they can sign it at the wedding ceremony. (some text in the Ketubah has been blurred for privacy)
It was huge (HUGE!) honor to create such an important piece for this lovely new family!
