  • All of my graphic illustrations are digitally hand-drawn in Adobe Illustrator and/or manipulated in Photoshop, using my Wacom tablet and computer.

    I create high-resolution vector graphics that can be easily scaled. My designs come production ready, and are color separated, so you do not have to worry about that. If your design calls for it, I can develop complex illustrations using half-tones.

    I do not and will not use AI in any of my creations.

BRANDING & art direction

Do you want to bring your brand to the next level? I offer full branding packages tailored to elevate your brand. Packages can include brand identity, art direction, brand kit, logo &/or multiple renditions of logo designs, fonts, color-theory, stationery and business cards.

  • Brand identity is the DNA of your business or ministry. It is what makes your brand unique, identifiable, and memorable. A brand identity is composed of visual elements, such as, logos, colors, typography, but also non visual things like brand values, and what you stand for.

    Art direction is the visual style and emotional tone of specific projects.

  • VISUAL IDENTITY: Logo, color palette, typography, icons and graphics, photography style, packaging

    BRAND PERSONALITY & MESSAGING: Core values, brand story and narrative, tagline and slogans

  • A brand kit is a document that outlines the specifics of a brand’s visual and verbal identity elements.

  • Although each brand kit is customized for customer needs, the brand kit can include the following:

    COLOR PALETTE: Your brand will include feature color theory, including HEX # and Pantone colors, for web and print.

    FONTS: Your choice of font pairing is crucial.

    LOGO & LOGO VARIATIONS: Having a main logo is great. It is better to have different renditions of your logo, including a word mark logo as well as an icon, for different uses and placements.

    VISUALS: The visual elements refer to imagry and branded graphics for your brand. A style guide should clearly state how you will use these.

    PACKAGING: And also can include hang-tags, stationary and business cards.

  • As a boutique studio, I tailor brand identity packages to elevate your brand, and I create cohesive design elements to tell the personalized story of your brand. This includes logo designs, but are currently not separate from a brand kit.

    The brand kit bundles: brand logo or logos, fonts, and color theory. You can add on packaging, stationery, and business cards, as well as art direction for photography and storytelling.

SACRED ART

Sacred art gives glory to God. As an artist, I offer original oil paintings (on canvas or panel) and graphite drawings (on 100% cotton paper). My style is influenced by Italian and Dutch Renaissance masters, portraits and landscapes, with a focus on Catholic art.

  • I am open to commissions for portraits of saints, biblical figurative themes and landscapes. Depending on the details and size of the painting or drawing artwork, pricing varies. For inquiries, please contact me for further information.

    Each sacred art piece is prayerfully considered, with time spent in front of the Blessed Sacrament, adoring and praying before Jesus in adoration. I use the finest oil paints, mediums, linen and papers.

    Please know, due to the intricacies of oil painting, composition, set up, and dry time, there is about a 6-7 month wait period, from the time of the initial concept of the painting to finished piece. For smaller pieces, this may be less time.

    Please note:

    For oil painting commissions, I am currently not taking commissions for master copies on a large scale. I create original works only.

    For graphite drawing commissions, I am open to portraits and these could be referenced off of master works.

  • I am dedicated to reviving the techniques of the old masters such as Raphael, Fra Angelico, Caravaggio, Rachael Ruysch, Van Eyck, Carl Boch, and William-Aldolphe Bouguereau (to name a few).

    Each painting, starts with a toned canvas or panel, the composition is laid out with a grisaille underpainting. I love working with natural lighting, nature, live models and use photography for reference. After the intricate process of the grisaille is painted, color is added in transparent layers to create the final piece.

    I use the finest quality materials. I do not and will not use AI in any of my artwork for moral and aestetic reasons. Everything I create is for glorifying God. Jesus and I prayerfully discern each artwork piece together in Adoration.
