A Jules Portrait is a one-of-a-kind hand-painted artwork created from a photography session using fine oils and acrylics. Each piece is designed as a luxury heirloom and a statement of personal legacy.

Do I need to sit long for this painting?

First, we meet either in person or via Zoom to discuss your vision, including wardrobe, posing, and display. You will then enjoy an in-person creation session. Once your chosen image is provided, Jules handles every detail, creating a smooth and personalized experience from start to finish.

Can the portrait feature more than one person or be designed in a style I choose?

Yes, this is your story and heirloom wall art. We can create anything you desire.

Each portrait is a commissioned work of art, with sizes starting at 24 inches and extending as large as needed to create a striking focal point in your space.

“I was looking for a piece of art, of a beautiful woman, for our formal dining room. I came across Jules and suggested to my wife that she be the woman in the portrait. She resisted at first, but we met with Jules and she made my wife comfortable and I knew that every detail would be taken care of, and it effortlessly was. She is posed elegantly however, it has a sensual vibe. We had a party for the unveiling and our friends did not know at first it was her! You should have seen her face listening to everyone commenting on her beauty.”
