Portraits 4 You

My name is Sarah Ribble and I'm currently enrolled at Darby High School. I'm very involved in the art program and thought that doing portraits for commission would be a great way to make some money and sharpen my skills at the same time. Everyone has that favorite photo; maybe it's of your kids or your spouse, maybe even a beloved family pet. Why not have that picture turned into a one of a kind portrait? They're especially good to give as gifts! I gave my mother portraits of me and my younger sister for mothers day this year and she absolutely adored them. So drag out those old photos and brighten up someone's day by giving them a portrait made specially for them. Thank you very much!
