Fallen Soldiers Gallery
Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy,
forget in time that men have died to win them.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt

It is my desire that each portrait translate the deep appreciation I have for your beloved’s service and sacrifice to our nation. Your loss can never be replaced, but I pray this gift can be a place of peace and reflection in your time of need. Please know that I approach each portrait with great respect and a broken heart. Thoughts of honor, bravery and valor remain constant in my mind as I paint and look upon your loved one’s face. I want to personally thank you for the opportunity to give something back to those who have given so much. Because it is impossible to meet you all, I promise to never forget your beloved. Their impression, appearance and presence will remain forever sketched in my soul.
Respectfully,
