Testimonials
Seamless Remote Process & Absolute Discretion
"Working with Dave on my custom portrait was an incredible experience from start to finish. I was initially a bit hesitant about commissioning a fine art figurative piece of myself, especially since we worked entirely remotely from photos I provided. From our very first message, Dave made the process completely comfortable, clear, and professional.
He guided me step-by-step on how to capture the best lighting and pose, making it simple to submit high-quality references. Throughout the entire process, Dave was exceptionally respectful of my privacy and maintained complete confidentiality. He kept me updated with composition sketches and progress photos, so I always knew where the piece was heading.
When the finished oil painting arrived, I was absolutely blown away. The detail, atmosphere, and classical handling of light turned my simple reference photos into a breathtaking, timeless work of fine art. If you're considering a custom portrait but aren't local to his studio, you can trust Dave implicitly to deliver something truly extraordinary."

Seamless Remote Process & Total Discretion
Commissioning a full nude study in my 40s felt like a major step, but working together remotely was completely empowering and seamless. The finished painting now hangs above my bed, and it is easily my favorite piece of art in the entire house.
