Commission Types
I'm here, doing this painting thing, because I love it. I put as much love into every brushstroke as I can. Commissions are a very serious matter to me. You're trusting me to honor and represent the most important people, places, or pets in your life. I'm going to give a lot of time and effort to it.
If you're getting an abstract you trust me to create an artwork that will be a space for you to escape to, or wonder at, or just be present with. I'm going to send at least 1 too many emails to make sure that we are on the same page. I want to create something that you'll cherish for many years and that will bring you joy!
I'm here to do my best to create art that's going to make your life better in some way. To the many people who have already commissioned me to paint their happy place or best friend, I am so thankful that you thought of me to paint or draw them.
Commissions are Now Open!
What type of commissions do you offer?
I offer three types of commissions. Realism Oil paintings, Abstract Oil Paintings, and Grayscale Ink Drawings.
Realism Oil Paintings
Oil paintings are in color and take 3 to 4 months to complete. They come in a variety of sizes, from 11" x 14" to 18" x 24". I can paint any subject matter including human and pet portraiture, landscapes, and still life.
How do I commission a realism oil painting?
Send me an email or fill out the contact form below to start the commission process. We can talk there about your idea, what size you'd like to get, and the price.
I need at least 1 high-quality photo to work from to recreate your idea in oil paint.
After we agree on the best photo to use, I'll send you an invoice for 50% of the final price. This first payment is non-refundable and acts as a deposit. After your finished painting is complete, I will email you a photo of the artwork. Once you've seen it, I will send you an invoice for the second payment.
Next, I'll ask for your shipping address and send the artwork to you. I ship anywhere in the continental U.S. free of charge.
All commissioned paintings are unframed. I only use sizes that are easily framable which should make finding the perfect frame easy!
A realism oil painting will cost:
$400 for an 11" x 14"
$550 for a 16" x 20"
$750 for an 18" x 24"
$1400 for a 24" x $36
Abstract Oil Paintings
These are created with cold wax medium and oil paint. An abstract takes 2 to 3 months to complete. They come in many different sizes from as small as 9" x 12" to as large as 24" x 36". I can create abstracts in a variety of different color schemes.
How do I commission an abstract oil painting?
Send me an email or fill out the contact form below to start the commission process. We can talk there about your idea, what size you'd like to get, and the price.
You can choose from previous abstract examples, describe the colors you'd wish to see, or send me a photo of the room where you plan on keeping the piece. I can then choose colors that will blend into your environment or boldly stand apart.
Because of the nature of abstract art, I like to spend a little more time coming together on an idea with you. I'll show the general colors I've picked out with a reference to a previous abstract I've created and ask you if this is what you're after.
After we agree on the best idea, I'll send you an invoice for 50% of the final price. This first payment is non-refundable and acts as a deposit. After your finished painting is complete, I will email you a photo of the artwork. Once you've seen it, I will send you an invoice for the second payment.

Grayscale ink drawings are monochrome and take 2 weeks to complete. They usually come in one size, 8.5" x 11". I can create larger drawings but this is used for full-body or multiple-subject portraits. I can draw pet portraits only.

Notes:
Pricing is subject to change for multiple subjects, i.e. two human portraits on 1 painting surface. I give discounts on large orders. I can create artwork in custom sizes. I'm open to hearing ideas that are unconventional or a subject I don't usually paint. If you have any questions please get in touch! I absolutely love to talk about creating art for you that you will love for the rest of your life.
Coupons don't work with commissions. If I have a special discount for commissions, I will advertise it through email or social media. If it's going on and you don't know about it, the discount will be added to your final price anyway.
I'd love to hear from you!
