Truly an heirloom-in-the-making, Chemistry Books are hand-painted and inked watercolor storybooks of how you and your lover met. Capturing the chemistry the moment your story began, I create a visual story using only high quality archival watercolors and inks. Each book can vary in size, complexity and other details such as binding method, cover materials, and whether the book will need to be printed in numbers.

To begin, a detailed story may be e-mailed to me. Photographs are highly desired so I may capture a likeness in the sketches. Please note this is not a book of exact portraiture, but gestural in nature (see the examples below). Likenesses will be captured in a refreshing, energetic gesture drawing. Emotions and spiritual energy using color theory, line intensity, motion and form capture the rest.

Each book comes with a Certificate of Authenticity by the artist, is signed by the artist, and has a dedication page in the front. The official title of the book will always be "Chemistry Book", though the subtitle of the book will be reflected in the Certificate of Authenticity.
