Portrait artist Ann Boyer LePere has been specializing in family portraiture in North Carolina since 1983. Her oil and pastel portraits have become valued treasures in homes from Boone to Morehead City - from Cary to New Bern - from the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) to Holden Beach.

Working in the style of classical realism, the artist takes care to produce a work of art of lasting value. While photo-references may be used, the painting is entirely original, rendered with no mechanical means, computer enhancements or photographic projection. Creation of a unique family heirloom is always the goal.
