Commissioned Portraits

I welcome commissioned portraits! Portraiture can be a powerful gift to another person that makes a unique, personal and everlasting statement of your love and admiration. Historically,  people have commissioned portraits to celebrate important milestones in a person's life. In my commissions, I work closely with my client to reflect their hopes, dreams and accomplishments in visual form. All portraits are archivally framed by me with acid free mats and tape.  Please see the 'contact page' for my phone  and email information.

Thank you so much for the beautiful works of art. I am glad that you were able to display your diverse talents and to know that we had a small part in it. Thank you and God Bless!"

"Bernard, I love my sketch and portrait!  You have managed to capture my soul.  When I look at my portraits I can see my energy pouring through.  I can see the real me not just my image but my essence.

I had returned home to take care of my father after almost twenty years of living in Los Angeles and the house had nothing of mine in it as it was bought by my older siblings and parents when I was fifteen.  Now with my portraits up and my framed quote on what I believe to be a strong woman, my house reflects a part of me as well.  It's powerful what a piece of art can do!  Thank you, Bernard for making the family house, my home!"
