These are the portraits that carry a wall on their own. Close-cropped faces, deep reds against warm shadow, and enough scale that they read from the far side of a room. Hang one above the mantel, in an entry, or on a stair landing where people slow down to look.
Because they are painted rather than printed from stock illustration, they sit comfortably with year-round art. Collectors regularly tell Celia their Santa never quite makes it back into the attic box in January.
Every canvas is an archival giclée, ready to frame or to hang gallery-wrapped, and shipped insured worldwide.
