Want a custom-made artwork just for you or a loved one?

I happily paint portraits, landscapes, animals (wild ones or pets), and still lifes on commission to create something perfect for your space or as a thoughtful gift for someone you love. Use the form below to request a commissioned painting, or read on for more details about how it works.

Deposit

A 50% deposit is required before I can start work. The deposit is non-refundable, with the balance due upon delivery of the artwork. If for any reason you need to back out of the project, your deposit can be applied toward any original art available on my website.

The Process

To ensure the highest quality artwork, something that will bring joy for years to come, I work closely with you during the planning stage. We'll collect reference photos and decide on a color palette together. I'll then create some preliminary sketches so you can get a feel for what the final painting will look like.

Once you've approved a sketch, I'll begin painting. The process typically takes 4–8 weeks, depending on the size, complexity, and my current schedule. If you have a specific deadline, let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate it.

Prices

Commission pricing depends on canvas size, number of subjects, and the level of detail involved. Once you share your preferences, I'll provide a quote within 24 hours.

Completion and payment

After we've agreed on the reference photo and pricing, I'll return to the studio to complete your commission. When the painting is finished, I'll share photos so you can see the piece and request any final adjustments.

Once you're satisfied with the finished painting, you'll pay the remaining balance. The piece will then be varnished and prepared for framing. I'm happy to consult on framing options or provide a frame myself for an additional fee.

Insured shipping is available at cost, with every measure taken to ensure safe delivery.
