About the Artist
I’m Hayward Gaude, a portrait artist based in San Antonio. I specialize in oil paintings that preserve not just appearances, but emotion and meaning.
I believe portraits are more than decoration — they’re heirlooms. They honor relationships, memories, and the people who shape our lives. With each commission, I work closely with my clients to create a painting that feels both personal and timeless.
Every portrait is painted by hand using traditional methods, with a focus on subtle expression, harmony, and detail, and are designed to live on in your family for generations to come.
In addition to painting, I’m also a portrait photographer. You can see my photography work at Hayward Gaude Fine Portraits.
