“My portraits are straightforward and impressionistic. I like to use the expressive quality of the pastel and oil paint to convey the spirit and energy of the subject.”

Leah Bell - pastel and oil

Susan McElhinney - terra cotta

“My portrait sculpture in bronze or terra cotta is classical with a contemporary touch of intimacy. I work with the New Arts Foundry in Baltimore for the highest quality of bronze casting and finishing.”

Jack Pardue - oil and pastel

“All portrait painters see their subject differently.

My goal is first to capture a likeness, and ultimately to create a successful painting with color, value, and composition in either pastel or oil.”

Drew Parris - graphite

“I work in the medium of graphite and use photographs to construct a Photorealist image of the subject.”

Pamela Phillips - oil

“In the classical style, I paint in layers of oil paint, creating depth and rich color, and developing a high degree of realistic detail.”

FOR MORE DETAILS or to commission a portrait, please call or email the gallery.

Nancy Tankersley - oil

“I enjoy painting portraits of all types, from children to board chairmen. I work in either pastel or oil and have been painting commissioned portraits for 25 years.”

Jonathan Shaw - absolute matte

“I accept portrait commissions of beloved family pets, and domestic animals.”

Meg Walsh - oil

"I approach a portrait with the dual goal of capturing each animal’s

unique personality as well as creating a painting that holds its own

as a work of art.”
