SELF Portraits

Art brings me so much joy, and I’d love to share that joy with you by collaborating with you to create your SELF Portrait. Representing Soul, Expression, Learning, and Fulfillment, this portrait can serve as a visual reminder of who you are. Clients I’ve worked with have put them on their phone background, printed and posted at their desk, or even ordered a canvas print online.

Here’s how it works

Share your SELF description (don’t have one? See below!), favorite colors, favorite art styles or artists, and hobbies with me.
I’ll use Midjourney, the generative artificial intelligence program, to refine three to five of the most visually stunning SELF portrait options for you from hundreds of curated possibilities.
You can share up to three rounds of feedback. I can iterate on the options, blend them, or even create new ones.
Once you’ve chosen your favorite, I’ll do any needed touch up and provide a file large enough for high-quality printing.

As an example, my SELF is
Sanctuary
Spirit
Heart
Wisdom
Joy

I combined these words with a prompt including abstract painting, and my favorite colors of red, orange, and blue. Eventually, I got a portrait that “looked” like me!

SELF Portrait + Coaching

How can SELF and having a portrait of it serve you? In this offering, our first coaching session will dive into this, as well as a technique to refine your SELF description into five words. As we are not always the best observers of ourselves, this technique taps into the perspective of others. After this session, you’ll gather your description and send to me.

In our second coaching session, I’ll share your five-word SELF and options for your portrait. From there, we’ll partner on how understanding your SELF can help in setting and achieving your goals in life.

Why work with me for a SELF Portrait?

Blending art with my other love, coaching, is an offering of the best of myself. I’ve been “the artsy one” all my life. To me, viewing famous paintings in-person is better than meeting celebrities. During trivia nights, I’m all over art and art history! I fell in love with collage in high school and I began working with acrylics in 2012. I’ve shown paintings at the Propylaeum in downtown Indianapolis and debuted at the 2014 Broad Ripple Art Fair’s Emerging Artist area.

My technique constantly evolves – from palette knife work, to impressionist-style brush strokes, to fluid acrylic pouring, and now using Midjourney as a medium – but I always aim to share joy.
