Commission a Portrait 

Schedule a free Info Session

Commissioning a portrait is a personal and meaningful experience, and I want you to feel confident every step of the way. Before booking, I invite all clients to a complimentary information session—either in my Red Bank studio or by phone/video—so we can talk through the process together.

During this meeting we’ll go over pricing, timeline, and what to expect from start to finish. We’ll discuss location options such as an in-studio sitting, your home, or an outdoor setting, as well as wardrobe choices, lighting, and the overall mood you’d like the portrait to capture. I’ll also answer any questions you have about materials, size, framing, or how sittings are scheduled.

This session is relaxed and pressure-free—it’s simply a chance to get to know each other and make sure the portrait feels true to you and your family. After we’ve talked, you’ll have everything you need to decide if you’d like to move forward.

The Artist

Kristin is a contemporary realist painter specializing in portraiture and intimate interiors. After studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, she lived, worked and studied at Water Street Atelier in New York City before returning to New Jersey, where she now runs a studio in Red Bank. Her work has been featured in Fine Art Connoisseur, Artist Daily, and on Madame Secretary, and is included in the Bennett Collection. She paints commissions, teaches classes, and serves on the board of New York Artists Equity Gallery.

My dedication to quality craftsmanship and personal touch makes commissioning an heirloom with me not only a fun process but a beautiful one. Each commissioned portrait is thoughtfully designed, ensuring client satisfaction and a meaningful aesthetic  experience.

Testimonials 

"After falling in love with Kunc's work displayed at a friend's home, my husband and I decided to make an investment to have our children painted to capture who they were at the time (around age 3 and 1). Even though we were out-of-state, Kristin made it very easy to schedule a FaceTime appointment so she could see the kids, interact with them, get to know them in action. After this time, she gave simple and clear instructions on how to provide her with the best source photograph from which she could work. She also took into account several other factors such as the color/decor where the paintings would be displayed and what the children should wear to maximize the portrait of their faces. Once we reached the point where we had decided on the best photograph to use, we let Kristin work her magic. She provided periodic updates, but thankfully saved the big reveal for once the paintings arrived safely in a custom-built package. They took my breath away. We get so many compliments on them and for those who know our children best, she truly captured that "thing" about each one. There's not a day that goes by that I don't enjoy those paintings. Now that the kids are 6.5 and almost 5, I appreciate those portraits even more. Because even though it's only been a few years, when I look at those portraits hanging in our California dining room, I get to recapture those sweet little faces!"
