We are living in very uncertain economic times. Our financial infrastructure has been weakened, forclosures are at an all time high, and unemployment is on the rise. As consumers we are having to revamp our thinking, much like our parents and grandparents did in past history. We are having to think outside the box, learn how to stretch the dollar and becoming more creative with gift ideas.

Portrait Expression offers a uniquely, personal gift at an affordable price for the ones who mean the most. Let me render a portrait of that special someone for you or your family. Portraits are rendered in one of three mediums, graphite, charcoal, and pastel. It is the perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or just because. The process is simple - simply submit an online order form accompanied with a digital photo. Once the portrait is complete, you will receive a digital image for approval. (See the Order a Portrait page for full details.)

I am a self-taught artist who lives in Lawrenceville, Georgia, with my wife, Stephanie, and sons, Gabriel and Samuel. I firmly believe my talent is God given and needs to be nurtured and shared. My art has always been reflective of my varied interest, tending to gravitate toward portraiture. I especially enjoy rendering children, in addition to others whose lives have left an indelible mark on our world.

Check out the Commissions page to see some of the portraits completed for some of my customers. And while you are here, I hope you will look around at some of my other works. Thanks for stopping by!
