Custom Tree of Life Painting

Job ID: 40060180

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I am the single mother of a neurodivergent child. After several very difficult years (college is really not built for autistic people), my kidlet is going to be graduating from Stanford in June of 2026. I have 3 very dear friends who have been MY support while raising my kiddo and especially supporting me so I could support Iz through college. I want something special for each of them - same scene/picture, but personalized.

While I have a concept and idea of what I'm looking for, I haven't found an example photo that really speaks to me. I am DEFINITELY looking for an artist who can imagine and create this. I like the idea of the tree being "on an island" - that really resonates. I'm thinking of something like a druid tree / tree of life. The trunk would be one of the ones with the twisty roots that form the base of the trunk. One of the roots would be prominent with the name of one of my friends. Two other roots (one on each side) would reflect the names of my other two friends. At the top of the trunk, would have my name - representing the three of them supporting me. Then maybe my name transitions to Mom, my child's name in the canopy, showing my complete support of my kidlet.
