Once & Always
paintings to capture the wonder of your child’s early years
They’ll grow, their interests will change…
but this piece will always hold the memory of who they are right now.
Together, we’ll gather the details that make this stage so special—the favorite toys, the colors they love, the stories they can’t stop talking about—and translate them into a timeless work of art.
This is more than a commission. It’s a collaboration to preserve the magic of these fleeting years in a way that feels deeply personal, soulful, and enduring.
A painting of their little years.

Rooted in their story. Inspired by their little world. Created with love + intention.
Grounded in your child’s story, inspired by the small wonders that fill their days, and created with deep intention.
Each brushstroke carries meaning—their favorite toy, the colors they love, the stories they tell a hundred times. Together, these details become an heirloom piece that feels as alive and unique as their childhood itself.
How does this work?
-
When you know you’d like a piece created, the first step is simply reserving your commission spot. Whether you already have a clear vision or just a feeling you want captured, this secures your place in my schedule and allows us to begin shaping your child’s story into art.
-
We’ll chat about your child, their interests, and the little quirks and details you want to remember forever.
-
I’ll create a design that incorporates those elements in a beautiful, cohesive way—abstract, whimsical, bright or subdued, depending on your preference.
-
You’ll receive an original piece, crafted with love, on a canvas no smaller than 18” x 24" so I can fully capture the richness and depth of their world.
Once your reservation is confirmed, we’ll talk through your preferred timeframe and the ideal season for your piece to come to life.
This $250 commission reservation secures your spot in my 2025 commission roster and your painting will be completed by the end of the year!
