Nothing is more personal than a portrait, but not everyone can afford to hire an artist to create a rendering in oil paints of their favorite person. That’s where Smallish Art comes in. Former local marketing professional Jill Stalowicz draws mini-portraits for her clients; at 5 by 7 inches, they’re charming as anything. Just send her a photo of your subject, give her 3 to 5 weeks (and $395) and you’ll get a piece of artwork you will cherish forever. Stalowicz draws people in pencil, pets in pastels.
