Memorial portraits are a deeply personal and meaningful way to honor the memory of a loved one. These custom pieces are created with care, intention, and respect, capturing not only the likeness of the person, but also their spirit, presence, and the emotion they carry for those who loved them. Whether it’s a cherished family member, a beloved pet, or someone whose legacy lives on through the stories we tell, these portraits offer a lasting tribute to a life well lived.

Each memorial portrait I create begins with your story—photos, memories, and the essence of who this person or animal was to you. I use pyrography, the art of burning images into wood, to create a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects both the subject and the love behind the commission. The grain of the wood adds a warmth and permanence that makes every piece feel timeless and grounded, like a quiet remembrance you can hold onto.

Creating these portraits is an honor I don’t take lightly. I know how much they mean to the people who request them. My goal is always to offer a piece that brings comfort, connection, and a sense of closeness. Whether you’re remembering someone recently lost or celebrating the enduring impact of someone who passed years ago, a memorial portrait can be a powerful way to keep their presence alive in your home and heart.
