Commissions: bespoke & meaningful
Commissioning a painting is a thrilling process that will allow you to own a custom-made artwork made specifically for you and your home. The perfect piece not only will enhance the ambiance of a room or adorn a wall but can also breathe life into a space. My role as an artist is to understand the brief and create something fresh and unique. I don't replicate my past work – all paintings emerge from an instinctive process of layering and discovery. As a result, each creation is one-of-a-kind, tailored with only YOU in consideration.
The brief
I appreciate the consideration and thought that goes into choosing who to entrust with your vision and trust.
Whether you come to me with detailed ideas or a general concept, I am open to both approaches and value listening to my clients' thoughts. Sometimes, the initial brief may be as simple as "I want to evoke a sense of < ... > in this space and I need your assistance."
By engaging in discussions and consultations, we will collaborate to create a statement piece that captures the essence of those emotions for you.
After our initial discussion, we will arrange a personal meeting to delve deeper into your preferences regarding size, color palette, and any personal elements you wish for me to incorporate.
Ideally, this meeting will occur in your home or the intended location for the painting. If distance is a factor, we can conduct this consultation via email or a video call.
The result
Following our discussion, I will provide you with a quote. Upon your approval, a 50% deposit will secure the commission.
The completion timeline is typically within 2 months, although this may vary based on the specific requirements of the project.
As I work through multiple layers and iterations in my paintings, I won’t be able to share the progress with you until I believe the piece has reached a cohesive visual stage. At that point, we can decide if the artwork is complete or if adjustments are needed.
Please note that I have a limited number of commission slots available each year, and there are minimum size requirements for projects.
