PORTRAITURE
WORK
_____


I create bright, punchy mixed media portraits that will blow your socks off!

​The portraits I create are uniquely different to your average traditional portrait. They are rich, interesting and eclectic.

 Combining years of experimentation and technical know-how my work is often packed with layers of mixed media, artisanal papers, patterned tapes and so much more. There are no boring stale portraits here!

BOOKING A COMMISSION

SO, HOW DOES THIS WORK?

________________________________________

  • Click "BOOK NOW" below. You will be directed to a registration form that you ask you a few questions about the artwork you want.

  • After submitting that form you will be directed to a page to schedule a free 30-minute chat with me.

  • In this chat, we will discuss the following: your concept, reference images, colours, custom artisanal paper elements, payment plans, framing of your artwork and delivery of artwork.

  • If I feel we are on the same page + confident I can deliver what you're after I will issue an invoice for a non-refundable 50% down payment. This will ensure your spot in my commission's queue is locked in.

  • If we have discussed a payment plan, this initial deposit may be smaller, however, I will not proceed with the artwork until I receive 50% of the final artwork price.
  • After I receive your 50% deposit I will deliver you a concept sketch and colour mock.  
  • Once you approve this I will issue your final invoice or an invoice for the agreed amount in your payment plan.

  • I will then proceed with your final artwork. You will be sent progress photographs and/or videos via message or email. If you have a payment plan in place the remaining payments will be required during this time until fully paid.

  • Once the artwork is finalised I will organise framing if this is something we agreed on. This will be invoiced separately along with shipping.

  • Your artwork will be shipped to you with tracking and will have insurance included in the shipping cost.  

  • You unpack your artwork and hang it on the wall!

A FEW WORDS FROM HAPPY PATRONS

_______

William Laurence

 “Tara created something completely unique when she painted my custom portrait.

She packed it full of beautiful interesting detail and made it completely custom to me. It was a smooth process from start to finish. She arranged custom framing for the artwork as well -- so I had the complete product ready to hang on the wall at the end of it.  Thank you Tara.”

Lauren Bloedorn

“Custom portrait or photoshoot? I went portrait, and I am so glad I did.

Tara guided me through the process like a true professional. She created beautiful works of art that will hang on my wall forever.”
