About Forensic Art Commissions

Karen Taylor accepts commissions to do forensic art through her studio Facial Images in Austin, Texas. Each case must be specifically discussed with Karen to receive a price quote. Case reviews and price quotes are provided at no charge.

COSTS

• Prices start at $2000.00
and vary according to the nature of the work requested and the complications involved.

Composite Drawings
…are done only in conjunction with witness interviews.
If travel is involved,

expenses incurred would be in addition to the forensic art fee.
