Commissions

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of creating a wide range of commissioned pieces—each one a personal collaboration and a chance to bring someone’s vision to life.

I’ve drawn beloved pets in charcoal and colored pencil, capturing everything from dogs and cats to more unexpected companions like roosters and snakes. These portraits are intimate, detailed, and rooted in emotion—designed to honor the personality and spirit of each animal.

Beyond portraiture, I’ve taken on larger creative projects, including a custom mermaid painting on a surfboard for a beach house in the Outer Banks. That commission challenged me to think beyond the canvas, blending function and fantasy in a piece that now lives just steps from the sea.

My work is also on display at Dry Falls Brewing Co., where I was personally sought out to serve as their resident artist. There, my paintings help shape the atmosphere—bringing color, character, and conversation into a space meant for connection.

Every commission is a new story, and I approach each one with care, curiosity, and the same love for color and detail that defines all of my work.

One drawing depicts a sitting, fluffy cat with a thoughtful expression, and the other shows a relaxed, sleeping cat curled up on a pillow. She is in a bar with various bottles and a TV screen in the background.
