Gift The Empowered Portrait Experience

Have you ever considered being the subject in an art piece? We are surrounded by figurative art, and the subjects we see are to be revered, but lack individual personalization. When giving the gift of The Empowered Portrait, the subject becomes personal. A loved one or self is to be revered in their own unique and individual way. Through nude portraiture, ones places themselves in the eyes of the viewer as the worthy subject to be admired. It is vulnerable, powerful, and courageous...a true gift of self, intimacy, and trust.

"Our bodies are riddled with bias: I’ll never be as pretty as her, My legs will never look like that, She’s so much stronger than me. We’re unable to see ourselves as we actually are, but an artist can. 

The role of an artist is to depict and uncover truth. Standing naked in front of an artist is an act of submission. It’s allowing our guard a few glorious minutes of respite. It’s vulnerable and raw, and illuminating and powerful. Through Haley’s Empowered Portrait, she’s able to guide us to a place of acceptance. No longer are we seeing our bodies through our eyes, but through hers.

The lines on the page are absolutes, not opinions. My portrait became a depiction of how I really am, not what I allowed myself to believe. Haley is deeply empathetic. Every figure is sacred and she treats you as such. The Empowered Portrait isn’t just a drawing: It’s the truest mirror one could ever hope to look into.

Haley’s portraits remind us all that we’re worthy, beautiful, and celebrated. Being drawn with such intention and clarity was an experience I’ll forever appreciate."
