Commissions
Thank you for your interest in commissioning a painting! If you’d like to explore the possibility of a custom piece, please reach out to me at [email protected]. I’d love to hear more about your vision, whether it’s a portrait of a loved one, a beloved location, or an idea you’ve always wanted to bring to life. The more details you can share, the better. If you have reference photographs, those will be incredibly helpful in shaping the final artwork. The more photos, the better!
The prices below serve as a guideline. After an initial consultation, I will provide a personalized quote based on the specifics of your commission. The process will be a collaboration between us, with the final piece subject to my approval of the reference photos (not every beautiful photo translates into a good painting). My goal is to create a timeless piece of art that captures both the essence and the character of the subject.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Prints & Framing
All commissioned paintings can be turned into a fine art giclée print. The artwork will be professionally photographed and printed on Minuet 310gsm pure cotton paper using archival inks, ensuring lightfastness for up to 70 years. Please allow an additional 2 weeks for this process.
I’ve recently partnered with a local framer to offer custom framing services. They can frame your piece in any style and finish you desire, with a 3-week additional lead time.
I also enjoy sharing my creative process and completed works on social media to showcase my portfolio. If you’re comfortable with it, I’d love your permission to share your commission (with your approval, of course). If you’d prefer it remain private, that’s absolutely fine too.
If you have any further questions or would like more information, please contact me at [email protected].
