Most original paintings are done in oil on canvas. Sizes typically range from 16”x20” to 36”x48” and are unframed except where specified. Oil paintings are ideal for collectors and with proper care will last a lifetime. Payment plans are available for larger paintings. Remember, original art is an investment.

Custom Color Prints

Due to popular demand, smaller high-quality prints of my original artwork have been made available for purchase. With the exception of paintings purchased by celebrity collectors, prints can be made from any image on this site. For example, Ms. Goldberg’s portrait may not be reproduced. Other sold originals will be marked: Available As Prints Only. Average print size is approximately 11” x 14” and may be purchased with or without standard matt and/or frame. All prints are signed by the artist. Purchase price of unframed prints includes postage.

Portraits and Commisions

As a member of the American Society of Portrait Artists, I will enjoy transforming your cherished photos into timeless works of art. Portraits are generally created on quality paper in graphite, color pencil or pastel. Large portraits in oil on stratched canvas or canvas board. Group portraits can be created from many different photos. Portraits may be of people, pets or even possessions (house, car, etc.). You may also contact me to discuss specific ‘custom’ ideas for your portrait. For example, one couple wanted the wife depicted as Cleopatra and husband’s Marc Antony. Allow 6-8 weeks per portrait. A 50% deposit required prior to beginning portrait.
