Prices vary based on the size and complexity of the portrait. Prices start at $250 for a 9x12 inch canvas, and increase from there.
It is recommended to submit a high-quality, clear photo of the subject. Photos taken in natural light work best. The artist will also work with you to ensure the best possible outcome for your portrait.
Since all portraits are custom-made, they cannot be returned. However, if there are any issues with the artwork, the artist will work with you to make it right.
Minor changes can be made to the portrait if requested within 2 weeks of receiving the final artwork. However, major changes may not be possible depending on the nature of the request.
