COMMISSION RESERVATION

I am so excited about your interest in a commissioned painting!
The art you choose to hang in your home is a deeply personal decision, and
I am honored to be a part of that process.


WHY YOU WILL LOVE THE PROCESS…

EXCLUSIVITY: One guarantee with your commissioned painting is that it is fully yours. Your custom piece will never be used for print reproductions or any other products. As the buyer, I give you the exclusive right to enjoy this painting for yourself. This painting is yours and yours alone to enjoy in your home.

DETAILS: Each painting is created using high-quality oil paints on paper or fine-art gallery-wrapped canvas. Paintings come in standard sizes and proportions, but if you have an ultra-specific size requirement, I can have surfaces custom-built to fit your exact needs. Framing options are available! I work with a local framer who can create any size of floater frame in a variety of colors and finishes. Your painting will arrive to you ready to hang.

SIZES & PRICES: At the time, I am only accepting commissions with a minimum size of 24x36 valued at $1,700. A $200 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your spot. This deposit will contribute towards the final price of the painting. Once booked, I can provide exact pricing for your specific size requirements, as well as additional services such as framing, shipping, and/or installation. See my 2024 Pricing Guide here. It is worth noting that commissioned paintings are priced slightly higher than paintings in a collection because of the high level of attention and care I give to you and your custom painting!

 

COMMISSIONS GET SPECIAL TREATMENT!

I take the commission process quite seriously, and want to involve you in the process as much as possible. Below are a few insights into my process that will help me create a painting to make all of your painting dreams come true. I can't wait to work with you!

  • I work from pictures. If you have a special place or a specific view you would like me to paint, send over that picture and that will be my guide! However, a photo from you is not necessarily required. Please no Google photos! :)

  • I paint landscapes! That includes open fields, mountains, beaches…any outdoor scene with land and sky. If you are looking for a portrait of a person, pet or home, I would love to refer you to a talent artist who can execute that better than I ever will!

  • One of the most helpful things you can do as the client is provide your favorite pieces from my portfolio that you are most drawn to. My painting style includes a variety of “looks” so if there is a specific painting, or group of paintings, that you are most drawn to, I can recreate that painting as closely as possible. As it is with original art, though, no two paintings are alike! So I will paint according to your color and style specifications as closely as possible.

  • In order to protect the work of my fellow artists, I cannot recreate another artist's work, but I would love to know which painting of mine that you are most drawn to. 

  • While I cannot guarantee an exact finish date, if you have a deadline you need to meet, I would love to make that happen! I will begin each painting in the month you choose during booking.

  • I will email you as the painting progresses and send a few photos along the way. My hope is that it will allow you to have a say in what happens next or what changes need to be made. For example: add more of a color, add less of a color, add more contrast, etc.  You are part of this process, and I want to make sure you get exactly what you want.
