Personalized Adoption Tribute Artwork

Celebrate the gift of life with tasteful, personalized watercolor art. I use an image of your adopted embryo(s) and turn incorporate it into your choice of art. These make lovely gifts for donor families, as well as beautiful art for your home.

  • Honoring

    Personalized watercolors honor your donor family’s gift, and honor the hope and love represented by the act of adoption.

  • Respectful

    My process is based in respect for both families. All images are handled with care.

  • Beautiful

    Watercolors have a timeless attraction. They convey soft emotion. Thin layers of paint create paintings filled with light.

  • Choose your design

    You have your choice of styles. Currently I offer your embryo(s) combined with text and/or hearts or your embryo(s) incorporated into your choice of flower.

    If you have another design in mind, please contact me to discuss.

  • Send your image

    After we decide on a design, you email me an image of your embryo(s).

    I will delete your image after the artwork is complete.

  • Enjoy/Share your art

    As soon as your art is done, I mail your art in a rigid mailer, and it’s ready to frame.

    For an additional charge, I can provide a high quality photo file and rights for you to make reproductions of your image.

    This way, if you gift your original you can still keep a print for yourself (or vice versa).

Let’s talk about your personalized adoption art.

Use this form to describe what you are considering. I’ll contact you, and we can discuss options and see if I’m a good fit for your art.

  • Style #1:
    Your embryo(s) with words, letters,
    and/or symbols (like a heart)

    Ex: Use your embryo as the “O” in LOVED, have it painted next to a heart, or whatever you’d like.

    $75 (includes shipping and handling) for an original image created with professional grade watercolor pigments. Your image will be created with a white border on paper that’s approximately 5x7 inches, making it easy to mat and frame.

  • Style #2:
    Your embryo(s) incorporated into
    your choice of flower

    It could be your favorite flower, your donor family’s state flower, the flowers your grandmother grew, or simply a flower you like.

    $75 (includes shipping and handling) for an original image created with professional grade watercolor pigments. Your image will be created with a white border on paper that’s approximately 5x7 inches, making it easy to mat and frame.

  • Optional add-on:
    High Quality Image + Reprinting Rights
    For an additional $35, I will provide you with a high quality edited image ready for reprinting. I will also sign a release allowing you to reprint the art as you’d like. This is perfect if you’d like to keep the original and make prints for your donor family, or if you’d like to gift the original and make a print for yourself.

  • Optional add-on:
    Reprints only
    If you only need one print, and don’t want reprinting rights to make more prints on your own in the future, I can create a high quality image and make prints for you. Price will depend on the size and quantity desired,

  • Times for completion
    All art is created by hand and even my smaller pieces take hours of work. Please make sure to discuss options if you need a rush piece (sometimes available for an extra charge).

    Watercolor adoption art typically takes 2-3 weeks to complete
