Painter for hire?

August 16, 2019 11:47 AM

I have a photograph I’d like painted on canvas. Not photo-realistic, but more like this style. Looking for recommendations for a painter or how to beat find one. Online is fine, but we’re local to Miami.

There are a ton of people who offer this kind of service on Etsy. A lot of them have the photorealistic style, but you can just scroll listings until you see a painting in a style that you actually enjoy.

Maybe Instapainting can help?

Why not contact Isabel Emrich, the painter you used as an example, and ask if she takes commissions? Looking at her website and Instagram, it appears she finished her undergrad studies 3 years ago and has just finished a Masters program. Extrapolating from my own post-MFA experience, she might could use the work at this point.

My friend Paula Tabor does this.
