custom portraits

CREATING UNIQUE GIFTS FROM YOUR FAVORITE MEMORIES, IN WATERCOLOR AND OIL PAINT

  • Painting people and pets brings me great joy. Bringing that joy to others when they see their custom portraits is even better.

    I’ve been a painter for over half my life, but I’m still always learning. Please let me know if I can paint someone you love for you!

  • Send me an email (erica@portraithouseart.com) or social media message (@portraithouseart) detailing what you’re looking for in your painting. I’ll need source photos attached or linked. I’m happy to discuss any and all aspects of your painting with you - content, medium, approach, size, cost, etc.

    Prices correlate with size. Any size you like is fine, but I generally suggest standard frame sizes. I ship finished paintings unframed, so this helps you get it on the wall more easily.

  • I like to film the painting process and create little minute or so long movies of the portrait’s creation. They’re super cool! Check them out on my Instagram if you like, @portraithouseart.

    I share these on social media and you are welcome to as well. I never share the original source photographs but do post painted images. If you don’t want your portrait featured on social media, please let me know.

I literally gasped when I took it out of the envelope, it was so beautiful and exceeded my expectations. My friend who I gifted it to, called me in tears she was so moved by it.
