Commissions
Washes of pigments, gentle water, and your memory made luminous: this is what I take joy in painting. I take custom commissions on a first-come, first-served basis and would be ecstatic to discuss how your photograph can become a lifelong piece of art. Share your image (and the story behind it, of course) and we’ll begin the transformation.
Overview
I frequently accept custom and commissioned artwork requests. I'd be delighted to discuss with you and explore how your photo can be transformed into a lasting piece of art!

Subject Matter
I am able to paint almost any subject as long as it’s based on a reference photo (impressionist or looser watercolor styles are not my specialty). Currently, I prefer to create artwork of landscapes, botanicals, animals and wildlife, pet portraits, and people portraits.

Art Mediums
While I have previous experience painting with acrylics and oils in the past, I now only offer custom work in watercolors, sometimes incorporating a touch of gouache to add more opacity.

What's Included
All prices reflect only the artwork on watercolor paper. Framing is not included; however, I can recommend a few places you can source frames.

Shipping or Local Delivery Included
Shipping is included in the prices for all pieces up to 11"×14" (154 sq in). An estimate will be provided for larger artworks. Alternatively, you may opt for local pickup, in-person delivery, or drop-off directly to your door for faster receipt. All artwork is carefully wrapped and protected to ensure safe delivery.

Sales Tax
In accordance with state law, sales tax will be added to the price of artwork for customers.

Turn Around Time
Commissioned art requests are handled on a first-come, first-served basis: orders that are paid first will be started first.
If there are no paid requests ahead of yours, artwork can typically be started within one week of payment received.
Most pieces are completed within one month from the start date, but this is dependent on the size of the painting. After completion, additional time will be needed for shipping, delivery, or pickup. If you need the artwork by a specific date or for a special occasion or you're on a tight schedule, consider purchasing a gift card, which can be applied to a future commissioned artwork.
Pricing
Creating a fair and sustainable pricing model for my art involved considering several factors, including size of paintings, my time, materials, difficulty level, and the overall market for similar works. I use only professional-grade materials and dedicate over six hours to complete an 8”x10” piece, as an example.
Custom pieces take a considerable about of time and commitment.
