Bebe Barnard has been involved in the portrait business for about 28 years, the same amount of time as her mom, Executive Partner Beverly McNeil.
Bebe grew up in the business and worked periodically throughout high school and college. Later, she became one of our sales associates in the cities where she lived, which includes Santa Barbara, CA; Norman, OK; and most recently Mobile, AL. As an associate, Bebe has loved getting to help clients find just the right artist to paint portraits that they will treasure for a lifetime.
This summer, Bebe and her family moved back to her hometown of Birmingham, AL.
In her new role as our Commissions Manager, Bebe’s experience as an associate will definitely come in handy. She will manage all the commissions our sales associates make from start to delivery. She will be available to help if there are ever any concerns or questions from the client, artist, or associate. She’s excited about having the opportunity to connect with more artists and associates on a regular basis.
Welcome to the team, Bebe! We’re so happy to have you.
