Signature Status
Signature Status recognizes those practicing and accomplished artists who are dedicated to the educational mission and high aesthetic standards of the Portrait Society of America. The artist's work must consistently demonstrate a high level of skill.
We are proud to honor these accomplished artists, whose dedication and achievement continue to uphold the Society’s educational mission and its high standards of excellence. Earning Signature Status grants members the privilege of using the designation PSS (Portrait Society Signature) on all personally created works—a mark that reflects our shared commitment to creating, advancing, and celebrating the art of portraiture.
Congratulations to the 2026 Signature Status recipients!
