Custom Commissions

Let’s collaborate on an original custom painting, created especially for you based on your dreams and personal talismans. Intimate and personalized to your vision, these artworks are a special addition to your home and collection.

We will collaborate on the concept for your artwork. You’ll provide me with colors, symbols, objects, photos of people or animals to include, or other specific elements, and I will craft a vision based on your input. It could be a family portrait or a portrait of your home, or a scene that only exists in dreams. I love painting dreamy spaces half-real and half-imagined. I will interpret the information you give me into an intricate, detailed work that is completely unique to you.

Please note that these paintings are time consuming. Depending on the size and my workload, the works can take up to 8 weeks to create. We will begin with an email or call to discuss your vision, and I will offer 1-3 preliminary sketches for approval. I will check in throughout the process to provide progress updates, and endeavor to meet desired deadlines. Each painting is created on panel or high-quality canvas with acrylic gouache and occasionally other materials.

Paintings are available in three sizes:

8 x 12 inches $500

If you would like something larger, please contact me and we can discuss options. You are able to pay full price up front or in three installments. If you are paying in installments, I will send an invoice for the first payment now, second payment at the halfway point, and the final payment before shipping it to you.
