Gifts of the Heart

For the moments that matter most.

Each “Gift of the Heart” is a custom, hand-painted piece designed to honor love, resilience, and connection. Drawing on decades of professional counseling experience, I work with care and deep empathy to translate your most meaningful memories, phrases, and milestones into a lasting work of art.

Whether celebrating a wedding, anniversary, birth, or Valentine’s Day , or honoring a journey through illness, endurance, or grief , these hearts are created to hold both joy and tenderness with equal respect.

More than a gift, each heart becomes a visual legacy of love. Please contact me and we can discuss what I can do to make this heart a meaningful keepsake. Each heart is unique and custom made. Some examples are pictured below.

I made this heart for my husband for Valentine’s Day. He loved it so much he had it framed. This inspired me to make personalized hearts for others.

Welcoming a newborn into the world.

This heart honors a love of over 61 years. It was designed by a collaborative effort that gave me the privilege of capturing their lives with words and images.

All hearts are custom designed and personalized. This is a grief heart that can be customized and redesigned.

Remembering a dear friend who crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

Heart for many occasions.

All hearts are custom made and hand painted. No two are the same. I will design the heart after talking with you about your experience, the occasion, and learning more about what is important to capture. I aim to paint your memories, experiences, thoughts and feelings. Please contact me for more information.
