THE CURATOR’S PICK Feature client

Through the years, starting with their maternity session, Rodney and Wendy walked through the studio’s doors for portraits at regular intervals. As the years rolled on, there were soon her two boys, Eli and Raj, in tow.

“I want to create a visual legacy for my boys.”

With every session, the boys grew taller, their personalities starting to peek through.

Each portrait captured their evolution, freezing the fleeting moments of childhood Wendy never wanted to forget.

Over the years, Wendy’s commitment never wavered.

In the future, Eli and Raj will look back on these portraits and see not just how they grew, but how deeply they were loved.

For Rodney and Wendy, these images are more than photographs—they are a legacy of moments that tell the story of their family’s love.

Beau Visage Mixed Media Paintings

Some stories are best written in paint!

Beau Visage Mixed Media Paintings

Bev, as the artist, carefully maintains the likeness of the subject while adding beautiful depth and color along with a sprinkle of interpretation, which adds to the magic of a painting.

By using a seal on your Beau Visage painting, we are continuing a time-honored tradition, indicating that your painting is an authentic, original and one-of-a-kind piece of art that can be handed down from generation to generation.

The crown was conceived from the beginning as the iconic symbol of a Beau Visage painting and is imprinted on the wax seal where it finds its place on your Beau Visage art as its final touch.
