Welcome to my studio. I’m Lisa Bane, a portrait artist who paints realistic oil portraits with a painterly touch. My work is about more than capturing a likeness — it’s about honoring relationships and preserving stories on canvas. Each portrait is built with careful attention to detail, yet alive with expression, so that every subject feels present and personal.
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of creating more than 100 commissioned portraits for families, collectors, and art lovers. These paintings have celebrated milestones, remembered loved ones, and brought joy to homes across the country. I consider it a privilege to be trusted with such meaningful work, and I strive to create pieces that will be cherished for generations.
A portrait is different from a photograph. It holds not just the image, but the emotion, the warmth, and the personality of the person or pet it represents. Each brushstroke is chosen with intention, to reflect not just what is seen, but what is felt. That is why so many of my clients describe their portraits as timeless treasures.
Whether you are looking to commission a family portrait, a painting of your child, or a portrait of a beloved pet, I approach each project with the same care and dedication. From our first conversation through to the final brushstroke, I guide you through the process, making sure the painting reflects your vision and becomes a lasting keepsake.
Thank you for visiting. I invite you to explore my portfolio, learn about the commission process, and imagine the stories we can create together.
