Hi, I’m MJ.
I am a local artist in Greenville, South Carolina and am excited to work with you!
I’ve been drawing and painting since I was a little girl. I was 6 years old when I started having my friends and family sit and pose for me. Their willingness to sit for hours on end, in addition to my studies, has given me the skills to turn your most precious moments into heirloom art that lasts for generations!
COMMISSION WORK.
Personalized and timeless paintings inspired by your photos, memories, and experiences.
CLIENTS FEEDBACK.
“A BIRTHDAY TO REMEMBER
This was the first time I ever had a commission piece done for myself and parter of 4 years and I was SO excited and nervous but MJ made it such a wonderful experience. She took the image I wanted, collaborated to understand what I wanted and then shared images along the way. She captured my partner and I on top of Angel's Landing and made the scenery even better by adding in more color and sky. Thank you for making this a birthday month to remember.”

I CANNOT WAIT TO WORK WITH YOU.
The ability to capture a moment or tell a story is what makes art personal and powerful. This understanding has been a foundational part of my life and career. It is an honor to be able to transform your photos and memories into a piece of art to cherish for years to come.
