COMMISSIONS PROCESS
Here I'll help walk you through my process for commissions, plus you can see some testimonials of my work below.
Nothing beats the feeling of reading a note about how one of my clients enjoyed receiving their piece as much as I enjoyed creating it.
Email me a photo, or photos, (higher resolution is best) along with a quick description of how you would like your watercolor sketch to look, including anything you'd want highlighted, removed or added to the sketch. You'll receive a price, and time quote (typically 4 to 6 weeks). Payment is requested to be placed on my schedule.
I'll guide you through your personal watercolor sketch creation. For this example, we settled on a layout somewhere between the two interior previous photos so as to show a few of the pews and ceiling lanterns, while still insuring there was room to include the details of the beautiful stained glass window. Before I put paint to paper, I'll sent you a pencil sketch for your review & approval.
A final photo is sent to you for approval before shipping. This Church held many wonderful memories for the family, from baptisims to weddings, and was given to the clients parents as a Thank You gift. Looking forward to capturing memories for you!

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
Wedding Gown Portrait
"When I received the watercolor that Karen did of my daughter in her wedding gown, I was overwhelmed! The incredible detail of the lace and buttons in her gown was remarkable. She managed to capture every detail to perfection! My daugher posted a picture of it on Instagram and her friends are going crazy over it. I would recommend Karen to anyone wanting a heirloom piece of art. She is nothing less than fabulous!"

Custom Wedding Map
Beautiful wedding map keepsake. Karen has just the right balance to work with - she is both keen on getting every detail you would like, and super accommodating while at the same time she helps you narrow your choices and decisions so that you don't overcrowd the painting or try too hard with something that is not going to work on the map. You do it alongside her, but she as the artist ensures you get a terrific finished product. Once she begins your map the communication and progress is smooth and fast. She's on it! Helped in the end with framing ideas. Highly recommend.

Church Stained Glass Windows
"My parents were, of course, blown away. They loved all the attention to detail and the color scheme and how warm it felt. Thank so much for helping make this gift come to life, we (and they) couldn't be happier!"
