To get started, share a few details:
The place, memory, or idea you’d like painted
Preferred size, if you have one in mind
1–3 reference photos
Timeline (if you have one)
Not sure about all the specifics yet? That’s completely fine—I’m happy to help you figure it out.
The Full Commission Process:
-
We begin with a conversation about the place, idea, or feeling you want captured
Any preferences, requests, or important details should be discussed at this stage so they can be considered in the work
A 50% deposit secures your place and allows the painting to begin
-
Commissions are created in my own style and reflect my artistic interpretation rather than an exact replication
I accept both plein air and studio commissions, depending on the scope and intent of the piece
For larger studio works (typically 16 × 20 and above), I create plein air studies on location—when feasible—to faithfully capture the light, color, and atmosphere of the environment
These studies are developed into the final painting in the studio, where composition, structure, and atmosphere are refined
The goal is to create a piece that feels true to the place, not just visually accurate
-
The final painting is completed in the studio and prepared for delivery
Paintings are shipped unframed to allow flexibility for your space
Framing recommendations are provided to help the piece sit naturally in your home
All shipments are fully insured to ensure the work arrives safely
The remaining balance is due prior to shipping
All sales are final once the work is completed
-
Your painting is created using professional, archival materials designed to last
Keep the work out of direct sunlight and away from extreme humidity
With proper care, the piece will remain a lasting part of your space for years to come
