Hand Drawn Portraits From Your Photographs

I am Joelle from a small cheese town in the Fox Valley, Wisconsin. I have created artwork for over 20 years. My paintings and drawings are in collections all over the world including, India, New Zealand and the United States. I hand draw portraits from your photographs so you can commemorate an accomplishment or capture your special moment in a custom work of art. Email a picture of your child, family, friend, business partner, or pet and let the magic begin. 
​
Hand drawings from your photographs are great for recognizing an achievement  or commemorating a  retirement.  These items make great unique gift ideas for any occasion and always impress.
