Picture perfect! I sent an old damaged photograph from the 1950s. In return, I received a beautiful 8 x 10 sketch that looked exactly like the photo. Heather's service was prompt and professional.

What a special thing to be able to sketch so well. I absolutely loved both sketches Heather did for me and so did the recipients as they were gifts. Super detailed and very lifelike. Select this artist with confidence and you'll be delighted.

About
For the Love of Art
Ever since I can remember, I have spent the majority of my spare time drawing and painting. I continue to nurture and improve my skills everyday and I decided to share it with others.
I started my shop on Etsy to reach a wider audience of people who would love and cherish the art I make, especially the pieces I do only for them. I love to work one-on-one to bring a person's vision to life, to put life into a photo of theirs, to make gifts for their loved ones and more.
Working from photos is something I will always enjoy, because there is a transformation between the photo and the finished piece, making that moment even more special. Drawing or painting is a much more intimate and personal medium than a photograph, and the finished product can say so much more. There is a creative freedom where detail can be added or subtracted. The photograph can become anything you want it to be.
