Want an Essence Portrait of yourself or a loved one?
An Essence Portrait can be detailed traditional portraiture or symbolic storytelling, but it contains elements of the subject’s essence as well. It will capture how you see your best self internally, assist you to manifest your essential beauty, and be a legacy for years to come.
What to Expect: Pamela will interview the subject to uncover the secrets of their essence through playful conversation, breath and if possible, time in nature. Then Pamela will present a sketched layout, proceed with revisions if needed, take photo reference, and begin the painting in the agreed-upon format. Cultivate a legacy by planting the seeds of an essence portrait rich with symbolism and myth. “This is a powerful process that I am told when completed, helps people to comprehend their life's essence with more clarity, and assists in stepping into their new selves". -Pamela Becker
How is an Essence Portrait Different from a portrait painting? An Essence Portrait looks deeply into one’s intrinsic and indispensable qualities and then finds the language to portray this essence in color, shape, style and portraiture. This is a potent adventure for both artist and subject. Pamela has a knack for helping people see and embody their unique beauty and power through her art, and through the process of working with her.
