Art Commissions: Three Boys

Helen_threeboysWEB“We Love, Love, Love our painting! It was referenced from a photograph taken by my niece,Schuyler, who is a budding photographer. And my boys all looks so extremely happy I just wanted to capture the moment forever! And yes, usually they are the best of friends.” – Helen

This is another commission from Christmas. I really enjoyed creating this! These brothers look like the best of friends, the way they have their arms around each other 🙂 One of my most favorite things about creating art for others, is learning about those whom I am painting/drawing and imagining what their life is/was like and connecting with their spirits through art! ♥

About the Artist

I am an advocate first, and an artist second. My paintings create visual comfort-- spaces where grief, hope, and healing can live together without apology...

I paint what matters most: the people you cherish, the moments that shaped you, the feelings that need witness. Through art, your most precious memories move outside of you and into your home, where they can be held, seen, and never forgotten.

My work is rooted in three commitments: honoring the experiences of indigenous communities and the history of the land we inhabit; creating safe space for children and women whose voices have been silenced; and recording the honest truth of lived experience-- both my own and that of those who came before me. I believe art has the power to tell stories that words alone cannot, and to preserve what must not be lost or forgotten. I believe that all that we know about ourselves is because Art has preserved those stories throughout history, outliving those who created it.

When you encounter my work, I hope you find yourself in it-- not as escape, but as recognition. I hope it reminds you that your feelings matter, that your story deserves to be held, and that compassion and truth are still worth carrying forward.

Art is the voice that speaks honestly through the heart. 💝🪷
