Commissions.

Dream it.

Every painting begins with a spark like a dream, a feeling, or an image you can’t quite put into words. That’s the heart of a commission: you bring me the essence, and I translate it into color and form. Maybe you’re drawn to a certain mood, whether soft and romantic, bold and fiery, or calm and serene. Maybe there are colors that have always spoken to you, or a memory, poem, song, or single word you’d like me to carry into the canvas. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Sometimes just a hint of an idea is enough to begin, and together we’ll shape your vision into a piece of art that is yours alone.

Paint it.

Once your vision takes shape, I bring it to life on canvas. My process is layered and intuitive — I begin with broad strokes and washes of color, letting the painting find its rhythm. From there, I build depth and texture, adding details slowly until the piece feels alive. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes delicate, but always guided by the feeling at the heart of your idea. I often leave traces of the process visible — brush marks, texture, movement — because I believe those imperfections are what give the painting its soul.

Commissions

There’s nothing like having a painting made just for you. A commissioned piece allows me to bring your vision to life - whether it’s a memory, a feeling, or simply colors that speak to you.

How It Works

  1. Inquiry — Reach out through my contact form with what you’re dreaming of: subject, colors, mood, and size.

  2. Quote — Prices are based on $3 per square inch. For example:

    • 12 x 12 inches = 144 sq in = $432

    • 16 x 20 inches = 320 sq in = $960

    • 24 x 30 inches = 720 sq in = $2,160

  3. Deposit — A 50% non-refundable deposit holds your spot and covers supplies.

  4. Creation — I’ll send you progress photos along the way if you’d like, or you can wait for the surprise.

  5. Completion — Once the final payment is made, I carefully package and ship your painting (U.S. only).

Timeline
Most commissions are completed within 4–8 weeks, depending on size and complexity. This is a typical timeframe, not a guarantee. Life and art both have their own pace, and I’ll always keep you updated along the way.

Notes

  • All commissioned work is original and handmade.

  • No returns or exchanges on commissions.

  • I retain copyright; you may not reproduce the image without permission.

Please Note
I do my best to accommodate commission requests, but not every project can be accepted. Since I also work full-time outside of my studio hours, I take on a limited number of commissions at a time to make sure each piece gets the attention it deserves.
