ANN MOELLER STEVERSON | STUDIO 271

There can be life to brushstrokes that seems to capture the vitality of a person, beyond what a photograph can hold. In my work, I strive to portray that each person is special, beautiful, and important. An oil painting has this amazing power to immortalize the spirit of those we love. With each portrait, I take special care to get to know the personality of the subject and capture them on canvas.
