I'm designing a name sign painted with infused sawdust

I create one-of-a-kind sawdust portraits from your favorite photos.

Pet portraits, family portraits, memorial pieces, and custom keepsakes are created using paint-infused sawdust, carefully layered by hand onto wood. No prints. No mass production. Every piece is handmade from your photo.

My unique mixed-media process embeds the color directly into the sawdust before it is applied, creating natural shading, texture, depth, and a rustic finish that makes every portrait truly unique.

Each piece is carefully created to capture the expression, personality, and memories behind the photo.

Perfect for:
• Pet memorials
• Family portraits
• Anniversary gifts
• Remembrance pieces
• Unique handmade gifts

Local pickup and shipping are available.

I also offer Surprise Sawdust Art Kits so you can create your own sawdust artwork at home.
