Portrait Commissions

I create thoughtful painted portraits shaped around your story.

A Portrait Made For You

A considered painted portrait shaped around the person, story, and feeling you want to preserve.

A More Personal Way to Preserve a Story

I begin by learning what you want the portrait to hold, whether that is a loved one's character, a meaningful memory, or a particular moment in time. Your reference images and ideas help establish the direction, while my painting process brings interpretation, texture, and atmosphere to the final piece.

The experience is collaborative without becoming complicated. I keep the focus on the details that matter to you and develop the portrait with care, creating artwork that feels personal in both its subject and its visual language.

Ideal For

  • A meaningful portrait of someone special

  • Memorial or remembrance artwork

  • A personal gift with lasting value

  • Collectors seeking expressive painted work

How It Works

  1. Share Your Idea: Tell me about the subject, story, references, and feeling you want the portrait to convey.

  2. Shape The Direction: I review the details with you and establish the visual approach for the commission.

  3. Create The Portrait: I paint the finished work with thoughtful attention to character, atmosphere, and detail.

About

I am Wayne, a visual artist and scholar whose oil paintings explore identity, language, and the forces that shape how people understand themselves. My work helps viewers question inherited narratives and make room for more expansive ways of seeing. Grounded in lived experience and ongoing study, I use painting as a space for reflection, dialogue, and continual self-definition.
