Portrait Artist in Miami

Commission-based. Design District.

I work with individuals and families in Miami who want to hold something — not a file, not a digital image, but a finished work that belongs to your walls and your life.

A Fine Art Portrait Commission in Miami

This is not a photography session. It is a commission — a collaboration between an artist and the people who matter to you, resolved into a single finished work.

Each portrait begins with a sitting in the Design District studio. Personal, unhurried, and built around presence rather than performance. What emerges is captured, then shaped — by hand — into a Monochrome or Mixed Media artwork that becomes part of your home.

The work resolves as a physical, framed artwork. There are no digital files.

Monochrome and Mixed Media

A Monochrome portrait is light, expression, and restraint — printed on archival material and finished to museum standard. Timeless in the truest sense.

A Mixed Media work begins as a photograph and is transformed by hand using encaustic beeswax and oils. No two are alike. Each one carries the mark of the making.

During the viewing, we explore both paths together. The choice is always yours — and always unhurried.

Working in Miami's Design District

The studio sits in Miami's Design District — a neighborhood that has shaped its identity around art, craft, and the making of things that last. It is the right context for this work.

Clients come from across South Florida: Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Brickell, Key Biscayne, Bal Harbour, Fisher Island, Sunny Isles, Surfside, Pinecrest, and beyond. Some make a day of it. The studio is easy to find and designed to feel like a world apart from the city outside it.

"When I saw it on the wall, I understood what he was making. It was not a photograph. It was us."

- Katie

How It Works

A commission begins with a conversation — a brief exchange to understand what you are hoping to hold onto, and who or what is at the center of it.

From there, a sitting is arranged at the Design District studio. The experience is personal and collaborative. Nothing is rushed.

A short pause follows the sitting, before a private viewing — a guided projection of what was captured, where we choose the image and discuss how it will be finished and scaled for your space.

The finished artwork is delivered framed, ready to live with.
