In Regard to Therese’s Custom Portraits:
Therese has combined her love of art with her spiritual pathway to create “The Power Portrait”. She asks her clients, “What empowers you”? Is it a place you have lived or would like to live in, an animal or some type of plant? Is it an activity you do such as dancing or playing a musical instrument?
She then combines several images from her clients life to create a “Power Portrait” for them; an image which uplifts, inspires and empowers them every time they look at it. It is great for contemplation, meditation, and as a focal point for visualization. A “Power Portrait” beautifies any environment and creates a sense of balance and harmony.

The whole concept of your power portraits has got to be so uplifting for your customers. You get them involved in your process and they’ve got to love that. These are gorgeous works Therese..

Your portraits tell a strong story. That is so meaningful. They all are beautiful color pencil paintings.

Thanks Vikki, thanks Rusty! You are so kind! Yes, the client loves being part of the process. Working on one of a family of 4 right now. So much fun!

The thing that I find so clever about the design of your power portraits is that they go beyond being portrait and can stand alone as a beautiful composition.
