Original Portrait Artwork of Your Children
by artist Heidi Knight
Your child, as a work of art.
A Heidi Knight Original takes the face you know better than any other and gives it scale, texture, and presence. It is not another photograph of your child. It is an original work of art that exists because they do, created only for you.
Imagine Seeing Them This Way
There is a particular feeling that comes from seeing your own child as the subject of original artwork.
You recognize every expression. You know exactly what that look means. But seeing it at scale, hand-finished, hanging in your home, changes the way you experience it. For a moment the child you see every day becomes art. And then that artwork becomes part of every day.
It is your child, seen as art. And it is yours.
"I wanted something more meaningful than school photos or snapshots on my phone. What Heidi created of my daughter is breathtaking."
Why Parents Commission Children's Artwork
There is something extraordinary about seeing your own child become the subject of original art.
You know every detail of their face, but seeing them this way gives those familiar features a different presence. The artwork becomes something you live with, something you notice when you walk into the room, and it will still stop you years from now.
You do not need to wait for the perfect age or the perfect moment. The child you love exactly as they are today is reason enough.
Created for you
Most parents commission a first Original for the child. They keep it for themselves. It becomes the piece in the house they love most, the one guests ask about, and often the first of several.
Heidi accepts only six commissioned Originals each year.
If you are considering an Original of your child, I would love to hear about them and what you would love to see on your walls.
