My painting space sometimes looks a little different than my Craft Barn.

These days I’m juggling motherhood, this small business, & going back to work part-time next week.
Lots and lots of hours go into completing these pieces between the drawing and painting portions. Those who have ordered (or are planning to), I appreciate your patience. I promise to work with your deadlines and get your portraits finished in a timely manner.
