About the Artist

Art Created with Passion

I’m Ava Grace, a commissioned artist who loves creating custom pieces that feel personal, thoughtful, and full of meaning. From home portraits to one-of-a-kind gifts, I enjoy turning special memories and moments into artwork people can cherish for years to come.

Each piece is created with care and attention to detail, with the goal of making every painting feel unique to the person receiving it. I love working closely with clients to create artwork that feels warm, personal, and truly theirs.

“Some of the best pieces are the ones connected to a memory, a person, or a place someone loves.”

When I’m not painting, I’m usually finding inspiration through travel, music, photography, and everyday life — all of which influence the colors and feeling behind my work.

What Clients Say

“We commissioned a custom oil painting from Ava Grace for our son Nicholas’ graduation from the University of Texas at Austin in 2021, and the result was nothing short of extraordinary. Ava captured his entire college experience in a way that felt deeply personal and incredibly meaningful, from his fraternity involvement to his role as a Silver Spur; every detail was thoughtfully and beautifully incorporated.
She created a legacy piece that reflects who Nicholas was during those pivotal years, seamlessly weaving iconic UT campus elements into it, and the level of detail in the oil painting is truly breathtaking.
Her passion for her work shines through in every brushstroke. I cannot recommend Ava Grace highly enough.”

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ava Grace again when our son Blake completed his Master’s from Louisiana State University in 2025, and once again, she exceeded every expectation. His custom oil painting is vibrant, personal, and filled with all of the elements that made his college experience so special, from the energy of the stadium to the unmistakable presence of Mike the Tiger. 
Ava’s attention to detail is unmatched. Every idea I shared with her for the painting, she brought to life, creating a visual story of Blake’s time at LSU. You can immediately see the pride, spirit, and individuality she infused into the piece. These paintings are not just gifts; they are heirloom-quality pieces that capture a moment in time and preserve it forever. We are so grateful to have these incredible works of art to commemorate such important milestones in our sons’ lives.”
