Proudly created in the USA

Allow me to capture the true beauty and charm of your Home, Commercial Building, Boat, Airplane, Car, Dollhouse & more in an original HAND DRAWN portrait.

I have been a Fine Art Artist & Architectural Illustrator for over 48 years and have been commissioned by thousands to create portraits of Homes, Commercial Buildings, Boats, Airplanes, Cars, Dollhouses and more. My artwork hangs in many homes, businesses, a TV show, Major movie and collections throughout the world including a former President of the United States.

These make lovely & memorable gifts for...

* Holidays, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Weddings
* Great housewarming gift
* Unique real estate closing gift which "Guarantees Referrals"

I use a combination of watercolor, Prismacolors & fine graphic pencils on acid-free bristol paper. The drawing is sprayed with a fixative to prevent smudging & preserve and protect it for many years to come.
The drawing comes matted in an acid-free cream mat which fits a standard frame ready for you to frame ( no need for custom framing).
Some sizes are available which I can frame for an additional charge.
