Portraits of your team

Headshots, ai images, and name cards- what do they lack? They lack the sense of human creativity, hand-made humility, and the ability to see beyond the image- to the person.

Portraits of your team is a creative way to show how much you value them, to celebrate their personalities, and to honor them by showing them beautifully painted in watercolor.

The portraits can go home with each person, hang together in the office- or live on your website and social media. You can request a custom stamp or packaging to brand the portraits with your specific information. No matter what you choose- you are sure to surprise and delight with a portrait package.

Most clients spend around 2.5k, but each project is unique and quoted to fit the work. Please reach out to Kay to begin your portrait package.

PS: You can even get them painted live... read more below...

Live painting at your event

You hire Kay to paint on site, in front of your guests, while the evening happens. What comes off the easel is a finished piece made for the room it was painted in: the venue, the cause, the person being honored.

It does a second job after that. It becomes an auction item, a door prize, or a gift for someone who deserves one. Guests talk about it for months because they watched it being made.

This has been done for fundraisers, corporate events, and family milestones, including a 70th birthday party and an 80th birthday where the guest of honor was painted live. If your idea does not fit a category, that is usually the good one.

Murals and large-scale work

When a space calls for it. Interiors, exteriors, and windows, made for the wall rather than hung on it.

Commissioned and design work

Sometimes the need is a specific project or ask- please reach out to Kay, describe the project and give her an idea of your budget.
