Adrian Deckbar has been creating commissioned portraits since
1972. She usually only accepts a few portrait commissions a
year, due to her demanding showing schedule of her original
work. She enjoys the intensity of achieving a likeness as well
as bringing forth a feeling of the subject's personality. Because
she uses photographs as a reference, the subject she paints
does not have to sit for a portrait. She usually takes the photographs
in a location of the subject's choice, and together with the
client selects the images on which to base the painting. The
subject can visit the studio to see the progress of the artwork,
and if needed, can sit a few minutes for Deckbar to study specific
aspects of the client’s appearance. She creates both traditional
and contemporary portraits and is not limited to the southern
region. Although she works in New Orleans, she ships her commissioned
portraits around the world. For additional information contact
