About

​I am an oil portrait artist based in Knoxville, TN. My work is inspired by classical techniques with a modern warmth, capturing both likeness and spirit.  It is my great joy to create portraits that reflect the uniqueness of each person and the intrinsic great worth of every person, for we are all made in the image of God and created for His glory!

Client Testimonials

"Every time I see the children's portraits, I simply smile.  The portraits bring such joy!"   M.G.  Houston, TX

"Shari, today I stand in amazement at the masterpieces you created. You captured my children.

 

They are absolutely beautiful. Looking at them throughout the day keeps me knowing my main purpose during this season of my life...being a mom. I have stopped several times during the last 2 days just to take them in because they are so very breathtaking. They remind me to STOP, thank God for my children & enjoy them.

 

Because of your close walk with the Lord, it is obvious the Holy Spirit guides your hand in your creations. They are works of praise to our Father for the precious angels he creates. Your gentle spirit is expressed throughout your work. 

 

What an honour & privilege to be able to have my children captured forever at the precious age of 4 1/2. 

 

I look forward to seeing you in the spring. You are a blessing! "

 

AW  Huntsville, AL

"I didn't want to waste any time in letting you know how pleased Shirley and I are with the painting!  In fact,  there's not a thing we want you to change!

 

Thanks again for sharing your tremendous talent with us,  Shari!  Grace and peace to you and your family in the days ahead.  

 

Sincerely,

 

James C. Dobson       Colorado Springs, CO
