Whether you've picked a Word for 2023, made goals for how you want to grow, or simply realize that you need to continue forward on your path, Vision Portraits capture and remind you of who you want to be in a beautiful way.
The portrait to the right is based on the phrase "Choose Joy"; I wanted to surround the figure by plants with both positive and negative meanings to emphasize the idea of choice.
The yellow/golden flowers mean "Happiness", "Kindness", "Levity" and the large yellow rose means "Joy".
The blue flowers have meanings such as "resentment", "anger", "selfishness", etc.
The olive branch across the heart alludes to the subject's Enneagram Type 9 desire for Peace.
Your portrait can use the Language of Flowers as well, or we can choose animals or other imagery that is meaningful to you.

I knew this was something my friend would cherish, considering its deep meaning and aesthetically beautiful result. Holly was always friendly and reliable to communicate with and truly makes her commissions a collaborative effort, which I appreciate with a gift that is so sensitive.
This has been the best gift I've ever given and an experience that I reflect on fondly. I can't say enough about Holly's incredible talent and sweet soul.

Holly somehow manages to infuse your feelings into her artwork so it perfectly represents what you’re wanting to capture. She puts surprise details and hidden meanings into her work that provide layers of meaning. It makes the picture so much more special than just a literal rendering. It’s just so perfect. The whole process was so therapeutic.

about my process?
My Commission Process
Working with me is nice and simple, and usually follows these steps:
I. We'll have a one-on-one chat, via email, phone, or video, to discuss your ideas for the painting
II. I'll create sketches based on our discussion and on any reference photos you provide
III. I'll suggest colors and imagery that I think will add deeper meaning to the portrait, if you don't already have some in mind.
IV. I'll show you sketches, both in pencil and digital color mockups, to make sure we're on the same page before I ever touch brush to paper.
V. I'll send you process pictures as I work, keeping you in the loop all along the way.
VI. You'll get final approval before I carefully wrap up your painting and ship it to you!
