MŪSE
Romantic Impressionism for the Modern Woman
MIRROR, MIRROR…
Imagine waking up every morning to your own confidence, power, grace and beauty. Imagine stepping into every day as the heroine of your own life.
With a MŪSE Painted Portrait, you can.
On The Wall…
MŪSE is about awakening the authentic feminine in you, revealing the truth of who you are, and displaying that truth on your walls to inspire you, over and over again.
As bespoke art, your MŪSE Painted Portrait replaces on your wall art that is merely pretty with that which truly speaks to you: the beautiful essence of you.
Dare to dream.
Bespoke Art For Your Walls
Award-winning portrait artist William Laurence fuses his love of expressive portraiture and his passion for helping women to be truly seen and celebrated, and the result is MŪSE. Fine portrait art that expresses something deeper, something far more real, than the typical portrait. Personal art to beautify your home and remind you of your magnificence.
In William’s words…
Raw and unfiltered, these portraits reveal a depth of human experience that elevates them to the level of some of the finest masterworks of the last 600 years. There is a special quality that shines through these unguarded moments, where a woman is simply herself, neither performing nor conforming. It is the most honest and inspiring work I’ve done.
— William
Be your own inspiration
You are amazing. Yes, you… just as you are. You don’t need to lose 20 pounds, dye your hair, or wish you were 15 years younger.
You possess something truly marvelous that you (and the world) deserve to see. The MŪSE experience will reveal your inner magic and help you see yourself differently.
Above all, be the heroine of your life…

Discover the wonder of you
I don’t think I’ve ever seen myself like that before…
I mean, it communicated everything I feel inside! (This painting) just showed genuinely how vibrant I am… on the inside.
(It) captured a very vulnerable yet bright side of me… the colors absolutely said, “This is who you are. These are the colors that shine through you!”
Not only is it alive, but it breathed more life into me. It was just awe-inspiring!
You deserve to see the beautiful truth of who you are, and let that inspire you daily. You deserve a portrait that gives you life.
The Ultimate Self-Love
Every MŪSE portrait produces an epiphany: a revelation that comes through the work and speaks truths that are heart-warming and empowering. Truths from you about you… like a love-letter from your deeper self.
Often surprising and always magical, these authentic truths that your portrait conveys will become a treasure-trove of inspiration for years to come.
Better Than Boudoir
Boudoir shows a woman as she appeals to others. MŪSE shows that you are magnificent even when no one else is looking.
No need to buy new lingerie; the confidence you will gain through the MŪSE experience is far more attractive than anything else you might put on.
We hear you
But I don’t look like that!
Our focus is firstly on your unique vibe and personality. That’s what makes any portrait a true work of art; and we will always find and capture your brilliance.
Also, William has worked with many hundreds of women of every ethnicity, age, size and body type, and is a master at directing you in order to flatter your form and emphasize her natural beauty.
Our clients are always surprised by what we capture and create together, and most come out of a portrait session feeling more confident and energized!
I don’t know that I want other people seeing me this way.
You dignity is our highest priority, so anything we create together will always be treated with respect and discretion.
We always begin each engagement with a conversation, where we can openly discuss your values, comfort level, and the concepts you would like to explore.
All so that we can tailor the portrait session to your personal beliefs and boundaries.
You also have complete control over if — and if so, how — your artwork is shared.
What would I even wear?
We’ve got you covered (pun intended).
We style from the inside out. Meaning that William ’s unique approach to styling involves beginning with your personality, and then providing a detailed plan for wardrobe options that will highlight you unique magic and that suit your body type and preferences.
We often act as a personal shopper, finding options for you that fit the moods and themes we decide on together.
What if I don’t want a painting?
William believes his commissioned work is the highest expression of the feminine mystique, and is committed to only working on commissions with clients that appreciate his artistry and who share his passion for fine art. If that is not you, there is also the option of artistic photographic portraits.
Either way, we know you’ll love what we create together when you see your best self displayed on your walls.

…It was such a great warm, inviting, friendly environment. It allowed me to feel beautiful and strong and confident, and you left with such a great feeling. And it wasn’t just “we’re getting a portrait.” It was an experience…
