Elizabeth has a natural talent for drawing, and she honed her skills through graphics and illustration classes. She delved into the pencil-portrait art form by first creating a montage of herself and her son. When others saw her talent and began to commission pencil renditions from their photos, she started Sweet Cheeks Pencil Portraits, to satisfy the desire for original art family heirlooms.

She loves how a child’s joy lights up their face, and endeavors to have her portraits reflect that feeling.
