Would you like to commission me to do a portrait of a loved one? I would be delighted to do that for you.
Portrait artist
Mary Clare Johnson
My portrait drawings reflect the unique personality and character within each individual person I am drawing. Careful consideration to detail is what I am known for. Photo-realism is the style in my work as I work in graphite pencil, colored pencil or pastels.
I have been a professional artist since the early 80s and have been an Art instructor since 1984. Although busy with teaching full time and raising three children, I welcome the time spent using my artistic talent to share my work with others.
Prices below reflect one model, additional models in the work will be an additional price. Thank you.

I work from clear photographs of your choosing for the portraits.
If the portrait will be commissioned in color, a meeting of the model is suggested to identify correct coloring of the eyes, skin and hair; but not mandatory.
Suggestions: School photos work well for children because they are clear. Photos that are clear, not distant shots of the person you want drawn and a look that really appeals to you. This gives me the opportunity to work in my studio to complete a quality portrait for you. To book the commission, please provide the photos, a conversation with me via email or phone to make sure you and I fully understand what is desired and a 25% down payment to begin. Thank you.
