Hazel paints oil portraits of children, family portraits, individual portraits, military portraits, corporate portraits, posthumous portraits and more. She has exhibited internationally and her sitters include a wide variety of people from many fields including finance, sports, politics, and the military.Hazel always speak to her customers by phone to find out exactly how they would they would like their portrait to achieve the ‘wow factor’!
