While Etsy is still having its little technical moment with my shop 😅
I figured I’d share a few recent paintings I’ve been working on.
The first three pieces were created for retiring physicians at Intealth. It was such an honor to celebrate careers devoted to education, medicine, and service. 💛. One even has local ties to Hampton Roads!
Swipe ➡️ to see a couple more recent favorites, including a DuPont career story and one for a television executive whose career spans from SNL to Paramount.
Creating these life-story paintings is my passion. Every journey is unique, meaningful, and full of moments worth preserving.
Thank you all for your patience while Etsy fixes the glitch. I’m still painting daily and working through all open orders as normal!
If you’ve recently reached out about placing an order, feel free to message or email me your details anytime. I’m still gathering info and sketching as usual, and I’ll update you as soon as Etsy’s glitch is resolved. This shouldn’t delay any gifting timelines. 💛
DM or email anytime. 💌
