The Art of the Portrait

Permanently capture the true expression and unique personality of your loved one, corporate president, or yourself with an irreplaceable portrait painting! Start a family tradition and forever preserve your memories of a treasured time in your life in a striking work of art.

Unlike a photograph, a portrait painting is more than a mere likeness of the subject. The artist’s vision expresses the personality of the subject through life-like accuracy in drawing, skillful handling of the media, and a meaningful composition.

How does Shane paint his portraits?

From Life: The subject poses live in Shane's studio or at the home/office of the subject.

From Photographs: Shane can take the photographs he needs for your portrait painting. Shane can also work from the reference of your photographs if the subject is not available.

Both Life and Photos: Working from both life and photos allows Shane to get to know subject so he can paint the true essence of the person.
