A Loving Gift and Heartwarming Treasure . . .
Capturing the Memories of a Lifetime
“My artistic passion is architectural — because architecture is about people. When I create a house portrait, I make a point of including all those details and personal touches that make each home so special.”
I CAN GUARANTEE, 100%, THAT YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK OF ART I CREATE.
Why? Because I have hundreds of clients around the country who can attest to this and I have now created portraits of homes in all 50 states.
It can sometimes be heartbreaking to move from a family home after many years.
Just imagine that family home captured in a work of art and on the wall that be enjoyed every single day.
Then there is the friend or loved one that is virtually impossible to buy an original gift for.
An original custom portrait of their own home with all its special details and personality is the perfect solution.

Not secondary to her talent is her warm personality that shines through in her artistry. My family and I will be treasuring this piece for many a year to come. Thank you again, Leisa! It was such a pleasure working with you.”

| “I just love the painting. I put a lot of thought into the renovation and am especially pleased that you caught the little touches that mean so much to me. My closest friend in the neighborhood commented on the wonderful level of detail and told me how the painting makes her want to walk up to the front door for a visit. You caught so many of the details, we were amazed! It is such fun to see them lovingly portrayed through someone else’s eyes.”– Erika Siegel, MD |  |

| “Well the painting was a home run…truly, everyone has remarked about what a wonderful job you did. All the little details you included (house numbers, pumpkins, rocking chair, etc.) and you captured the true colors of the house — way better than the photographs I provided. So thank you again. We are all thrilled with it.”

| “I am sitting here in my cozy family room gazing at the two house portraits that Leisa painted for us. Every time I look at them, I feel happiness and gratitude. We have lived in this house for 30 years and love it, but we never thought about having a portrait of it until we saw her work. Her watercolor detail is so exact that you feel you could walk into the painting. And her use of color and light is so pleasing to the eye. Because we so loved the painting she created of our house in the Spring, we sent her some photos of our house in the blizzard of 2016. She gave us the most beautiful rendition of our snow covered winter wonderland. We especially love the warm glow of the lights inside contrasting with the stark coldness of the snow outside.What wonderful gifts she gave to us . . . and that we gave to ourselves! Thank you Leisa!”– Marilyn Terzian, MD |
