Commissions

To begin the process, please complete the commission request form below so I can get a better sense of what you are looking for. This form will broadly cover budget, size, inspiration, location, vision, etc. After I receive your completed form, we can set up a time to speak via Zoom or in person or we can continue to communicate via email before moving on to the next steps. 

Inspiration

I appreciate any inspiration you can provide. What paintings or style of mine do you especially prefer? I like to discuss the specifics of color combinations and composition in this context. You may also have a photograph of a location/landscape you want to reference.

It is also very helpful for me to see your space, either through photos or in person, to get a feel for the surrounding atmosphere. I will take note of your wall color, fabrics in the room, lighting, overall mood, etc. At times, I may ask to see what other artwork you have and why those pieces appeal to you. The more insight, the better!

Size

Many collectors already have an idea what size canvas they would like before they contact me. If you are unsure of the perfect size for your space, I’m happy to help you decide.

Sketch

I start with a few sketch options for your piece to give you an idea of what I had in mind and make sure we are on the same page. 

Commission Agreement

After we have settled on the details of the piece and are both clear on the direction, I’ll send you a commission agreement to read and sign. This agreement will outline cost breakdown, timeline and what to expect throughout the process. Once it is signed, an initial non-refundable deposit of 50% non-refundable deposit is due. Upon receipt, I can get started with your custom piece! Upon completion of the artwork, I’ll contact you for your final approval and the remaining balance, plus the cost of shipping and framing (if requested) will be due.  I typically allow 6-8 weeks for completion of each piece, depending on size, complexity, etc.

Pricing

My prices for commissions are based primarily on size. Most projects are between $1000-$5000. Compared to my ready-to-ship collection paintings, they run about 15% more to account for the time spent putting together a cohesive piece that meets all your custom wishes
