Commissions

Making a decision to hire an artist or commission a painting is a unique opportunity and special commitment. 

An original commission painting makes a very special gift for any occasion: baby's birth, birthday, baby shower, Christmas, wedding, anniversary, or just to support the arts. I would love to work with you to  create a unique piece and make your vision come true for you or for your loved one.

How does this exciting process work? 

Start by sending me an inquiry with your idea...for example, your thoughts on medium (oil, acrylic, watercolor, graphite), size, subject matter, and your location (pick up or where the work will be shipped). Attach multiple reference photos of good quality that you would like for me to work from, or set up a time for us to connect and for me to take reference photos (an extra fee is involved in this). Detail is so important so that I can produce what you desire. I will send you a “work in progress” proof before the final payment is due if you would like this in the event that any changes need to be made. 

Payment: 50% of the total price is required at the time of your order. The remainder of the payment is due at time of pick up or once the work is completed (if work is to be shipped). You can also pay in full up front. I accept Venmo or PayPal.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING: I will let you know the shipping and handling fee on commissioned orders. The remaining balance must be paid before work is shipped. The work will be carefully packed and shipped via USPS with a tracking number. Please allow 5-14 days for arrival.
