A Modern Approach to Traditional Portraiture
Bobbie Bush employs a modern approach to creating hand-painted portraits, through a collaborative process that marries traditional artistry with contemporary tools. From the outset, Bobbie works closely with clients to select the right reference photograph, providing initial concepts and hosting progress meetings to ensure the evolving artwork matches the client's vision.

Emphasizing client involvement every step of the way, her method showcases a unique blend of classic portraiture techniques and modern innovations, setting a new standard in the art of portrait painting.

Client Experience
 
"Worth Every Penny."

"I have thousands of photographs on my phone and yet none that were quite special enough to say "this is my James". Then I came across Bobbie and the paintings that she creates from snapshots and fell in love! I knew right away this is what would show him how special he is to me. When the painting arrived in the mail, he jumped up and down screaming "It is ME! It is James! Worth every penny spent! Thank you Bobbie for melting my heart with this beautiful painting."
