Memorial Sketch

Memorial sketches are created with care, intention, and respect, from your photo reference, as a keepsake your family can hold onto for generations.

A Hand-Drawn Tribute to Honor the Ones You Love

What This Is

A Meaningful Keepsake, Hand-Drawn With Care

A Memorial Sketch is a custom, hand-drawn pencil portrait created from your photo reference. Whether you’re honoring a parent, auntie, grandparent, or loved one, my goal is to capture their essence with softness, dignity, and detail.
 

Each commission includes the original hand-drawn artwork and a high-resolution digital copy for preservation and sharing.
