A Portrait Experience That Helps Transform More Than One Life

At Vivek Narula Portrait, we create portraits for people who have never quite seen themselves the way others do.

After six years of running our studio, one thing has become clear: 

If you don’t feel photogenic, it’s not you. It’s how it’s been done.

So we built something different: a fully guided portrait experience with the presence of an editorial shoot and the care of something much more personal.

This $1,200 gift card may be used toward a headshot, personal branding session, or legacy portrait experience at our natural light studio in the Arts District of Northeast Minneapolis.

Each session includes a personal design consultation, wardrobe styling review, professional hair and makeup in-studio, a fully guided portrait session, and a private photo reveal.

Nothing to figure out. Nothing to perform. No awkward guessing where your hands should go, which remains one of the great mysteries of modern civilization.

We guide you through every step.

Because a portrait, when it is done with care, is not about vanity.

It is about recognition.

It is about seeing yourself with more kindness, more clarity, and a deeper sense of what has been there all along.

And through this auction, the impact reaches beyond the studio.

Your bid helps support life-changing work in rural Ghana, where Operation Dignity International partners with local leaders to help villages move from survival toward lasting strength, helping communities grow stronger from the inside out.

At our studio, we believe transformation often begins when someone is truly seen.

Through this gift, that transformation reaches farther.

The art of you.

Original watercolor painting, “Abstract Forest Sunrise,” by award-winning artist Mary Axelson.

Known for luminous watercolor layers that glow with life, Mary’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. This beautiful original piece captures the warmth and beauty of nature through expressive abstraction.

Art is 6 x 8.75 inches. Framed work is 13 x16 inches.

Artist Statement

I am a fine art watercolor painter and have taught the medium for 30 years. My award-winning paintings are shown nationally and internationally. On April 11, 2026 at the Minnesota Watercolor Society Spring Juried Exhibition, my painting “Great White Hope” was awarded “Best in Show” by Judge Daniel Marshall, AWS. I am a Signature member of Minnesota Watercolor Society, Red River Watercolor Society, South Carolina Watercolor Society, and California Watercolor Society.

I am passionate about transparent watercolor layers that capture light within my paintings that glow with life. Natural pigments and water easily combine to portray living things.

My paintings may be viewed on my website www.maryaxelson.net.
