Commissions

Commissioning a custom painting is a collaborative and thoughtful process designed to create a piece that feels personal, timeless, and beautifully suited to your space. To begin, please send a high-resolution photograph of the subject you would like painted. Images taken from social media are usually too small to capture the detail needed for quality artwork, so original photos are required.

Once your image is received, I will respond with:

  • Recommended canvas sizes

  • Pricing information

  • Composition suggestions and artistic considerations

  • Estimated completion timeline

Each painting is created with careful attention to detail and craftsmanship. Most commissions are completed within 4–6 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the piece.

A 50% deposit is required to reserve your commission and begin the painting process. The remaining balance is due upon completion, prior to shipping or delivery.

I look forward to creating something meaningful and one-of-a-kind for you.
