Hello my friends

Thank you for considering me to paint your commission!

I am very excited to occasionally offer commissions. It’s an exciting process to commission a piece of art that is one of a kind and special for you. A custom painting may reflect a memory, a favourite place or colours that are special to you and your home.

Making it personal

You may already have an idea or a vision for the perfect painting or you may want my help to help further develop your idea. I would love to discuss the details of the piece you have envisioned!

I look forward to working together so I may paint something special for you!

How it works:

• An initial email consultation explores your vision for the piece. At this point we will discuss the details of what you have in mind regarding subject matter, medium, style and size. From there I will be able to provide you with an estimate.
• Once a final composition is agreed upon, an estimated timeline and payment schedule is determined.
• A 50% non-refundable installment is required prior to starting the painting process.
• Upon completion and approval, the final installment plus shipping costs are due in advance of shipping the painting

A few things to consider when commissioning a piece…

• Being a bit of a purist I prefer to work from my own reference photos.  Whenever possible I will work with you to schedule a photo shoot if required.  When this is not possible, I will review the reference material you provide – from there we work together to develop our plan on how to make your painting a reality. Quite often I may have images that will fit with your vision. Of course, I am always open to exploring any photos you may like to provide.
• It is important for me that any commissions that I take on represent my distinct style and blends into my body of work.  I assume you are approaching me because you love my existing work.
• There are no limits to the potential size and dimensions of the piece. I can work anywhere from 8x 10” up to 40”x40”(and beyond) in any variety of dimensions that best fit your vision and budget.
• Shipping is additional and will be determined when the piece is packed, measured, and weighed. The price will vary depending on the size and weight and final destination. I can provide an options on shipping to review with you in advance. I will be sure to find the best rates possible while also ensuring your piece is safely packed.
