Ancestral portraits

Step 1: Book your live sitting experience!

1.5 hours, $240 Canadian dollars

This is a beautiful celebration and connection with your most beloved ancestors and guardians. You are welcome to prepare for this connection as you would a family gathering, and in our initial preparation emails, there may be further instructions given, depending on your ancestry. Once booked, Josi will reach out via email with the zoom link, as well as some ways to coordinate yourself for this special experience.

During the sitting, Josi first shares offering and gratitude to the elements, the directions, the land guardians, as well as makes room to welcome in your most beloved and honourable ancestors that are committed to your utmost care, love, joy, and success in this life. As Josi starts to sketch, you may listen to music, eat, drink, and enjoy this connection with them. They may share some initial messages, their names, etc. with Josi as they are sketched, which Josi will then share with you.

Once sketches are completed, Josi will share some options for the painting piece, be it an ancestral portrait, or a larger piece. In the days that follow the live sitting, Josi sends you digital copies of the main sketches, as well as shares the estimates and options for the Soul painting.

Step 2: The Decision Process

An Ancestral Portrait can be painted on 12”x16”, or 16”x20” stretched canvas, or with an option of canvas board. The additional fees for a singular portrait range in price from $380-520, and tend to be of one ancestor, portrait-style (face and neck/shoulders shown). Larger pieces are priced depending on the amount of ancestors/guardians portrayed, as well as the intricacy of the piece. They can vary in size, from 24” x 18” to 2 feet x 4 feet. For larger pieces, Josi will share with you 2 size recommendations, and quote accordingly to your specific design.

Once quotation and size of canvas is approved, Josi shares the Soul Painting Agreement, which includes the payment terms, as well as the planned composition of the painting according to canvas dimensions selected. Once signed by both parties, initial deposit is due, and when received, painting process commences.

Step 3: Painting process to completion

Once the painting is completed, Josi will document in a letter a personalized message to you from those beloveds painted. Josi then shares a digital photo of the completed painting with you, and your final invoice. Packaging and shipping costs, to your requested destination, will be quoted once the painting is completed and will be included in your final invoice. Shipping tracking and a signature requested upon delivery for your Soul Painting is there to ensure your delivery of this one-of-a-kind piece.

All shipping is quoted pertaining to you are located in the world. Josi currently resides in Ontario, Canada, and ships with established carriers with tracking. All art is prepared carefully and securely, and Josi sends to you images and communications once your piece is sent off on it’s journey to reach you. Please note that international collectors are responsible for any applicable customs duties, VAT, or import taxes required by their country.
