Past Project

View Project

  • “Michelle has done multiple projects for me and they were the best Christmas gifts ever. I was able to capture my parents in such a unique way that was a bit more elevated than a traditional photo in a frame. She cares so much, was able to make small edits where it made sense (like removing a random umbrella my step mom was holding) and the colors were so gorgeous. I will use Michelle for personalized and sentimental gifts every time.”

    portrait recipient

    home portrait client

  • “Michelle has painted a few different things for us the past couple of years and each one has been exceptional. One, was a way for us to honor a retired state police officer that brought him to tears, and the other, was a way to honor a cherished family pet and hunting dog. Both portraits were stunning and are proudly displayed in their respective owners' homes. Michelle is always who I think of when I want to gift a sentimental, one of a kind, gift.”

  • “The painting of our home is perfect. We absolutely love it. This is our very first home and this painting is so special to us.”
