"Dick Zimmerman has been referred to by the media as an
artistic genius. Known as "The Image Maker," he is considered to be the most accomplished portrait
artist of the 20th century. Zimmerman is sought after by the world’s most celebrated entertainers,
dignitaries, politicians and influential personalities." / Matt Lauer, NBC Today Show

Artist Dick Zimmerman will personally travel
to your home environment or to the location of your choice to design the initial portrait sitting. The sitting will
require no longer than five hours. The majority of the time will be spent on design and supervision of the
composition, as well as the style and color coordination of the wardrobe selection.
Once the composition is created, the actual sitting will then take place with the subjects
in the composition for approximately one hour. Any children under two years of age will not be required to
sit for more than ten minutes. Dick Zimmerman will then take various photographs of the composition, as well as
individual photographs that will be used for reference material, and the foundation for his oil painting,
that will then be created in his East or West Coast studio.
This experience is identical to any previous celebrity portrait session in preparation to his painting.

Dick Zimmerman's unique and refined technology in portraiture captures and
enhances the essence of the subject’s beingness. He refers to it as "capturing the subtleties of the soul."
His paintings communicate life and energy captured in a preservation of a moment in time.
Zimmerman has created hundreds of portraits commissions, which range from actors TOM CRUISE &
NICOLE KIDMAN, MICHAEL JACKSON, PRISCILLA & LISA PRESLEY to icons such as AARON SPELLING,
GOVERNOR ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGAR, and ARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU. Zimmerman has also had the rare honor of having the great artist of our time, SALVADOR DALI, and his wife GALA sit for their fiftieth anniversary portraiture. He has exhibited his work all over the world as well as a personal invitation from Donald Trump for an exclusive exhibition at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach.

Dick Zimmerman's refinedly crafted oil paintings
were developed through many years of meticulously combining his oil painting techniques with his famed photographic expertise, to originate and create a new direction in Realistic Fine Art Portraiture.
