Are you celebrating new tap shoes, new pointe shoes, first great demi-pointe? There is something magical about the connection between a dancer and their shoes.

I would be honored to help you commemorate this special time in your dancer's journey. I am a painter and a dance instructor. I think my love for both shines through in my work.

The process is simple:
1. Choose your size and purchase this listing to commission your painting in this style. This listing is for feet only. If you are interested in a portrait of face or full body, please see my other listings.

2. I will email you requesting your chosen image. You can also send a photo through a convo. on Etsy. Please let me know if there is anything you would like altered. For example, in this piece I retailer altered the background to give it a more "timeless" feeling. You may also specify that you wish to purchase a gift certificate to be mailed at no extra cost to the recipient. Perfect for a recital or holiday gift.

3. I will begin work on your painting and send you a proof for you to look over and review. If you would like me to make any adjustments, I will do so before sending a final proof and preparing your piece for shipping. Right now, my time for completion is one- two weeks after the receipt of instructions and image.

4. After approval, your piece will be shipped securely to you with a mat, backing board, protective sleeve, and certificate of authenticity.
