The Process
Initial Consultation & Artist Selection
We begin by connecting with you to discuss your vision, preferences, and goals for the portrait. Based on your input, we’ll recommend artists whose style and approach best suit your needs.
First Sitting
Once your artist is selected, he or she will travel to your desired location for a sitting, capturing photographs and sketches as reference. If a sitting isn’t possible, our artists can also work beautifully from provided photographs.
Portrait Development
The artist will then return to his or her studio to create your portrait. Throughout the process, your dedicated sales associate will keep you informed of the progress and ensure your expectations are being met every step of the way.
Delivery
When your portrait is complete, your portrait will be either shipped or personally delivered. Our team is available to assist with framing recommendations, presentation, and installation.
