How to Commission An original Work of Art
This isn’t the only way to commission an artwork. It’s just the way that works for me - and the way that I’ve worked with dozens of clients to bring their vision to life. My goal always is to honor the memory or moment or bit of magic that my clients want to memorialize in paint or pastel.
I absolutely freaking loveeeeee working with clients on commissions. I give it my all - time, thought, care, attention to detail. Which is why I usually only take on a handful at a time. That being said, please don’t hesitate to reach out to discuss. If you’re flexible on your timeline, and can afford to wait a little while for your original, then there’s a huge likelihood that I’d be happy to work with you. Let the collaboration begin!
