TK’s Art

TK Read is writer, a practicing attorney, a painter of people, lover of books, mother of three, and juggler of dreams. She has won awards for her painting and excels at portraiture and archaeological works.

TK started painting in high school when she wasn’t satisfied with the colors she could achieve in pencil. Her painting really took off after a running injury kept her confined for an extended period of time. She has won awards for her painting and excels at portraiture and archaeological works. She has painted commissioned portraits of a law school dean and other notaries.

Contact her at [email protected] for more information about commissioning a painting. Please note, prices vary depending on size and complexity of subject matter. Her base commission is $5,000.00 per piece based on a four – eight week turn-around, again depending on size and complexity.
