Welcome!

I am quite pleased that you are browsing my site and hope you will find the services you have been searching for in my gallery and portraits.

If you are looking to have a portrait done of yourself, family or pet simply go to the Services page where you will find price lists, sizes of portraits and shipping costs. Oils will need an 8 week time before shipping. This is to ensure drying time and varnishing finish.

Charcoals and pastels generally take about 2 weeks . You can choose to email pictures and pay through PayPal by debit or credit card, or mail the pictures to the address on the Services page. You can email your ideas and I will be glad to work out formats and sizes that will work best to suit your needs.

I can also combine photos to create a group picture such as a family. Perhaps there is a deceased member in the family that you would wish to include in the portrait. It is possible with a little creativity. Please include the names of the person ordering as well as address and phone numbers on any photos you mail out. All your photos will be returned along with your order. Call or email me with any or your questions or ideas.

All orders will have a release form included that will allow you to make copies of your personal portrait. Many of my clients have found this to be a excellent gift idea on special occasions. You may not use this form for prints being sold on this web site. All portraits are shipped via US mail and insured against loss or damage. This will require your signature upon delivery.

Above all, my main goal is to ensure satisfaction with the art I deliver. An original work that you will be proud to leave as a legacy to future generations.

Thank you for visiting,
Aline Backes
