Commission Information

Portrait commissions are accepted on a limited basis throughout the year to ensure each receives the time and attention it deserves.

To discuss availability, pricing, and scheduling, please submit an inquiry below. A deposit is required to reserve your session, with the remaining balance due only if you choose to proceed after reviewing the completed work.

Dwight Hwang's portrait commissions transform the human form into timeless impressions using the centuries-old tradition of Japanese gyotaku. Through touch, texture, and carefully applied ink, each work becomes a quiet record of presence — capturing not only likeness, but memory, intimacy, and connection.

Whether honoring a newborn child, celebrating a parent or grandparent, commemorating a milestone, or simply preserving a fleeting stage of life, every portrait is created as a one-of-a-kind work of art designed to be treasured for generations.

The Process

Inquiry & Consultation
Every commission begins with a conversation to understand your story, vision, and the individual being portrayed.

Portrait Session
Working in a calm and collaborative environment, Dwight creates the impression using traditional techniques and carefully selected materials. Each session is tailored to the subject and approached with patience and care.

Studio Finishing
The resulting print is reviewed, refined, hand-signed, and prepared as a unique archival artwork.

Delivery
Once complete, the finished piece becomes a lasting keepsake—an enduring expression of memory, identity, and human connection.
