Commissioned Portrait Artist Serving Austin Families
by artist, Heidi Knight
Austin families have always understood the value of a home that reflects the people who live in it. A commissioned portrait does exactly that.
Just a short drive from the city, Heidi Knight creates original, hand-embellished portrait artwork for families throughout Austin and the surrounding Hill Country. Each piece begins with a portrait session and is transformed through Heidi's signature process: digitally painted, printed on archival canvas, and finished entirely by hand with acrylics and oils.
The result is artwork with the accuracy of a photograph and the depth, texture, and presence of fine art.
Why Austin Families Choose Commissioned Artwork
Many of the families Heidi works with in Austin, Westlake, Tarrytown, and Lakeway are searching for something more permanent than a photography gallery. They want a piece that becomes part of the home itself, not a file saved on a phone or stored in the cloud.
A commissioned portrait is planned from the very beginning with the finished artwork in mind. The wardrobe, the setting, the light, and the composition are all chosen with one purpose: creating a piece worthy of the wall it will hang on for generations.
Curious what a commissioned piece actually looks like in a home? Browse family portrait artwork, children's portrait artwork, or bridal and debutante artwork to see Heidi's process in more detail.
Serving Austin and the Surrounding Hill Country
Heidi's studio is based in Wimberley, just outside Austin, making in-home consultations and portrait sessions easy to coordinate for families throughout the area, including Westlake, Tarrytown, Highland Park, University Park, and Lakeway.
For families outside Central Texas, Heidi also travels for select commissions and can coordinate sessions remotely when distance makes an in-person visit difficult.
Heidi accepts a limited number of commissions per year. Inquire early to discuss availability for Austin-area sessions.
