Take Memories Out of Storage and Hang Them On The Wall.

Gone are the days of posing for hours in uncomfortable positions. Diana makes it easy to hold onto a favorite memory of someone you love by using a carefully chosen photograph as a template for your portraits. Whether you have a picture you already treasure or you live in Mid Coast Maine and would like to start your portrait journey with a photo shoot, Diana will elevate your pixelated memory from one of many in a digital keepsake box into a one-of-a-kind oil portrait to hang on the wall and cherish for years to come.

From the very beginning of the portrait journey, Diana will help to mold the vision by consulting on what images translate best and will modify your portrait according to your budget and the kind of look you desire. Read on to learn more about the customization experience.

Start With a simple headshot

You may choose to start with a simple headshot print of a single person or pet which Diana will translate onto canvas. Opting for a simple background keeps the cost and turnaround time to a minimum. Diana prefers to work with photos in which the subjects aren’t smiling to preserve the classic gravitas associated with oil portraiture.

Add In A BackGround Or more than one focal point

Should you want to capture more than one loved one or enhance the portrait by placing it in a specific environment, Diana will be thrilled to fulfill that vision. Please understand that this will take more time and therefore cost a little bit more than a straightforward headshot.

Start with a photo Shoot

As long as it is easy to do so, Diana is more than happy to orchestrate a fun family outing to take pictures which will be natural and compelling in your oil portrait. This process allows Diana to bring an extra layer of artistry to the painting by shaping her subjects within their environment and telling a story that she was personally involved in from the start.
