Top-rated Custom Portrait Artist in Phoenix, AZ
Original Pieces byArtist Christina Carmel.

All originals are lovingly created by me, mostly in my Phoenix studio, and sometimes while adventuring somewhere beautiful. When viewing works, keep an eye out for surprise elements of collage that add to the story, and also include nods to my home state of Arizona.

What if?...
Frequently Wondered Worries
What if I need my artwork shipped nationally or internationally?

If purchased during a live gallery exhibition, I will personally cover 100% of the shipping cost to addresses in the continental US, including crating and insurance. If you purchase your original outside of a live gallery exhibition, estimated shipping will be calculated at checkout. Once I get a final quote from the crater, I will either send a refund or an invoice for the overage or deficit. Estimated shipping on originals is $700-1,400. Shipping on prints is automatically calculated at checkout.

What if I need to return my artwork?

The purpose of my work is for you to feel a deep connection to it. For originals, there is literally only one on the entire planet, so I want her to be as loved as deeply as I love her. If you are not feeling your original or print for any reason, you can take advantage of my 30-day money back guarantee. Ship the painting back and get a full refund, no questions asked.

What if my artwork doesn’t fit on my wall?

I recommend measuring your wall before choosing your Christina Carmel original, and reach out to me directly if you have any questions. We can talk through your worries, and I’ll even create a to-scale photo rendering of your space and my artwork, so you can see exactly how it would look in your unique space. If, for some reason, your artwork arrives and doesn’t fit on your wall, you can take advantage of my 30-day, no questions asked return policy.

What if my artwork doesn’t suit my space?

Again, I make artwork to have deep connections with humans, so if the painting doesn't work, ship her back for a full refund.

Art that reflects our humanity.

A Christina Carmel Original reminds you to:

  • Love the parts of yourself you may have kept hidden in the dark. 
  • Celebrate yourself as truly beautiful and worthy.
  • Tell the unique stories that matter – for the sake of humankind. 
  • Embrace substance and meaning in your heart and home.
  • Make a statement and take a stand for what you believe in. 
  • Give back – freely and humbly – to your community by thinking global and acting local.


Absolutely Amazing! Christina painted a picture of our 4 grandchildren and it is perfect. Looking at the painting takes me back to the very moment the picture she painted from was taken. The joy in their faces is the joy of that exact second of time. Having Christina do a painting is more than just the final product. She kept me informed the whole way with pictures of the progress. She let me visit the studio so we could discuss exactly what I wanted in the picture, what was exactly how I wanted it, and what wasn’t quite right. She asked questions about the kids, the family, the situation so she could really understand us so she could make the picture perfectly retell the moment. That’s why she was able to capture not just the scene but the emotion. She asked for closeup pictures of faces so she could get the eyes, hair, and every detail right down to their dimples perfect.She’s the best!

Your sanctuary isn't for silence.

It’s for flipping off beauty norms, gender roles and injustice. It’s for igniting connection and conversation; for making a statement and for taking a stand. And it’s for making a positive mark on the world – starting in your very own space.

Because let’s be real: Blank walls aren’t inspiring – they’re alarmingly boring. 

And you? You *definitely* aren’t boring.

You’re precious, purposeful, messy and magical. You aren’t afraid to walk the path less traveled. You tread carefully – aware of the power of your actions.

Your life and your space are your radical statements – and you’re determined to use them to make a real difference. You’re in the right place. 

My collectors are a super precious squad of change-makers who value meaning, depth, inclusion, and real experiences.
