When is the last time you saw yourself for your true loving and powerful nature?

For most of us, it has been too long. We get wrapped up in narratives about ourselves that are unloving and unhelpful. We start making decisions out of habit or fear instead of joy and trust. This gets in the way of our true potential, the paths we’re meant to walk, and ultimately, our personal peace and happiness… which is not what we want.

This is why I do what I do. I am on a mission to help you own your power and embody your authentic self. Seeing your empowered, grounded self in a piece of art helps shift your inner narrative. This process helps you see yourself differently and the result, the portrait, acts as a visual reminder of the empowered person you are destined to be.

“You kill me, Elke. I love it. You capture moments other people don’t see.”

“I am so speechless. The accuracy is divinely impressive, but it’s how you interpreted and captured my energy that makes the final piece so astounding and meaningful… I know this is something precious that will have an evolving impact.”

THE PROCESS

  1. Short chat

    We have a short chat to get on the same page and set intentions for our time together. If we are all good to go, then we start solidifying next steps on our call!

  2. Get ready for our session

    You would fill out a short questionnaire, answering a few questions about yourself. This gives me a window into your world, allowing me to prepare for our session and guide us in the most helpful way.

  3. Session

    We have our in-person session! Our conversation will be an intimate exploration of where you are right now in your life, and while we’re talking, I’ll be taking your photograph.

  4. Drawing the portrait

    After I’m back in my studio after our session, I listen to the recording of our conversation and go through all of the photos. Then I will draw the portrait using the official reference image.

  5. Portrait reveal and reflection

    You receive the portrait and see your authentic self in graphite!

    If you’re happy to participate in a reflection chat, we would talk through the experience, what it has meant to you, and what you see when you look at the portrait.
