Attaining Fine Art is easier than you think!
A Simple Process
Commissioning a portrait is a remarkably simple and deeply personal experience.
It begins with a conversation where we discuss your vision, the subject, preferred size, and any special details that make the piece uniquely meaningful.
For collectors within Tennessee and nearby, I am often able to photograph the subject myself, allowing me to gather the subtle nuances that bring a portrait to life. For those farther away, carefully selected photographs can be provided and used as reference. Get my free informational guide in PDF form ~ The Perfect Reference Photo Guide ~ below.
Once the details are finalized, a non-refundable 25% deposit secures your place on my painting schedule and I will provide an estimated completion timeline. From there, the process is in my hands.
Your only task is the most difficult one—waiting.
Over the following weeks, layers of paint, light, and atmosphere are carefully woven together to create a one-of-a-kind heirloom crafted exclusively for you. The result is far more than a likeness; it is a deeply personal work of art created to be treasured for generations.
Each portrait commission is thoughtfully added to my studio calendar in the order it is reserved, allowing me to give every painting the time and attention it deserves.
Modern heirlooms for those who understand that presence is the true likeness
Custom Artworks by request
Custom art requests are embraced for collectors who want a piece that reflects their own vision or story. Heirlooms for those who want to be remembered as they felt, not just how they looked. Consider the exciting feeling of opening your original Testerink painting of you, a loved one or a treasured pet. The joy and prestige of having an original work of art in your home, more than just art, it is memory, love in paint, timeless.
