Miniature Masterpieces – Custom Hand-Painted Portrait Ornaments
Each ornament is a miniature fine art portrait, created with the precision and soul of a gallery piece. Hand-painted with professional artist-grade materials, these custom baubles capture more than a simple likeness—they preserve a moment, a personality, an essence.
 
Chosen by celebrities and influencers alike, Maxine has been commissioned by those seeking something rare: a truly personal, lifelike piece of art in an unexpected format. These custom ornaments are both luxurious and attainable—designed to become heirlooms, yet priced to be accessible for anyone who values meaningful craftsmanship.
 
Whether it's a humorous snapshot, a heartfelt family memory, or a quiet, scenic moment, your photo is transformed into an elegant, hand-painted treasure that will be admired for generations.
 
What to Expect
Each portrait is painted on a 3" colored ornament of your choice using professional acrylics, then sealed with a protective varnish for durability and longevity. The design includes a detailed portrait with a plain background, and complimentary personalization on the back (such as a name or date).
 
If your vision includes a more elaborate scene—such as specific scenery, multiple figures, or symbolic elements—we can collaborate to create a fully custom composition that goes beyond the standard offering. Please be in touch with your requests prior to purchasing in the case a custom order quote needs to be created for you.
 
Presentation & Packaging
Every ornament arrives in a kraft or white box, surrounded by a grass paper nest and coordinating soft tissue paper —simple, refined, and ready for gifting.
 
For a truly elevated experience, upgrade to the Signature Gift Packaging featuring a premium box with a hinged lid, hand-tied satin ribbon, and a Certificate of Authenticity—designed to match the timeless beauty of the artwork inside.
 
You may also choose to enhance your commission with a larger, 4" hand-blown glass ornament, which offers a more dramatic presence and allows for even greater detail. This premium option automatically includes Signature Packaging for a luxurious, ready-to-gift presentation.
 
Timeline & Holiday Ordering
Each portrait takes between 2–4 weeks to complete, depending on studio availability. If you're working with a specific deadline, please contact me to discuss options for expedited or rush service.
