Memorial portrait painting commission of a father and son, together and smiling.

Remembering a Father.

The One and Only Photograph

Magical moments -- especially in the life of a child -- happen every single day. These moments usually emerge from our daily life, and are wonderfully unexpected and spontaneous. Through the incredible power of technology, we now so often have a camera in our back pocket, and are at the ready to record these special times!

Honoring his Father

Despite their differences, Stevie still loved his father and wished to honor his memory not just for himself, but also for his surviving grandparents

A Very Special Gift

From the beginning, the intention was to create a meaningful painted portrait as an extraordinary gift to share with his father's parents, his grandparents, with whom he was very close.

A Daily Reminder of Love

Once completed, the painting was shipped internationally to his grandparents' home in England to act as a daily reminder of their late son. Stevie expressed his deepest desire that they may hopefully experience a bit of renewed joy by having their late son's smiling face looking upon them every day.

Impressive Work.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


"It's impressive work. It's something that I knew was worth every single penny. They say you can't put a price on art... but this is something that will be passed down from generation to generation." - Stevie
