Custom Watercolor Portrait | Painted by Kristina C. Gaddy

A great portrait captures more than just appearance — it reflects the heart of a person, their story, and their spirit. That’s what I aim to create with every Watercolor Portrait.
With over 20 years of experience in fine art and 7+ years focused on watercolor, I paint each portrait by hand using a minimalist, expressive style. My goal isn’t strict photo-realism — it’s to capture the feeling behind the face, using color and brushwork to tell your story.
Every color I use is intentional — chosen to reflect personality, emotion, and memory. These pieces celebrate milestones, honor loved ones, and create meaningful keepsakes for life’s special moments.
I create portraits in small, limited batches to keep each one personal and unique. Originals are one-of-a-kind, and select designs may become available as digital downloads after they sell.
