Sandy paints portraits in oil on canvas from a photo you send. Portraiture and realism are at the heart of her work, built up in layers of oil paint for depth, texture and lifelike detail.
Tell her who is in the photo and the size you have in mind. She replies with a quote, and once the deposit is paid she sends progress photos as the portrait takes shape.

What photo to send
A clear, sharp photo, taken in daylight or good indoor light.
The face large in the frame, with the eyes in focus.
Taken straight on, at eye level, rather than from above or below.
The original photo file, not a screenshot, so the detail survives.
