Visual artist & creative
I'm an independent visual artist based in New York. I work on commissions, portraits and one-on-one creative projects — the kind of work that benefits from actually talking to the person it's for.
I keep my client list small on purpose. The best results I've made have come from understanding what someone is really after, not from working at volume. That means every project gets proper attention, and every inquiry gets a reply from me, not a team.

Usage and ownership terms are spelled out in the agreement, so you know exactly what you can do with the finished piece.
A fuller gallery is coming. For now, tell me what you're planning and I'll share pieces relevant to your idea.
