Commissions
“We are free to dream and reimagine life in splashes of color.”
Portrait and landscape commissions are your invitation to reimagine how you are seen and how you see the world around you. We’ll work to transform the real, guided by personal stories, experiences, and details that make you who you are and what you desire to see in your world. Through a ‘get to know you’ conversation, I’ll assemble the information to best represent your expectations. The result is a one-of-a-kind artwork, expertly and intentionally created, that exists nowhere else.
Commissions open from July through to November, and availability is limited. I work on a first-come, first-served basis. If you would like to commission your very own portrait or landscape painting, join the wait list. Joining simply means acceptance will be scheduled based on the sign-up order.

Common Questions & Answers
Who are these commissions for?
These commissions are for those who feel a pull toward surrealism, storytelling, and bright, bold, meaningful details. They’re for art collectors who value intention and who want to own a piece that feels special and personal. Artwork made with them, not just for them.
Do I pay for shipping?
When your painting is complete, it will be carefully packaged and shipped to you at no charge.
Can you paint me into a scene?
If you want me to paint you as a character into a full scene, we can discuss it, and pricing would depend on what you’re expecting. Please email me directly to discuss.
How does the process work?
Once your commission is confirmed, we’ll have a short, thoughtful conversation via email or video call (whichever you’re most comfortable with) so that I can get to know you and the details of what you expect in a painting.
How long does it take?
Once your commission is confirmed, your 50% non-refundable deposit has been received, and you’ve sent your photos and/or videos, I will aim to have your painting completed and in the post within 15 - 75 days. Should I require more time than this, I will confirm this with you via email.
Can you do couples and groups?
Absolutely.
What sizes do you offer?
I offer 5 standard sizes (measurements are in inches):
Small
- 8" × 10"
- 11" × 14"
Medium
- 16" × 20"
Large
- 18" × 24"
- 24" × 30" or 24" × 36"
Custom sizes available upon request.
How much does it cost?
Small: $350 to $450
Medium: $550 to $650
Large: $750 to $ 2,500
Couples and Groups: $850 to $5,500
To secure your place, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required once your commission is confirmed and before I begin painting. The remaining 50% is due once the artwork is finished and before it is mailed or picked up.
What if I’m not happy with the painting?
Each commission is created slowly and intuitively, based on our conversations and my artistic interpretation, rather than as a strict photographic likeness. Because of this, I don’t offer full repaints, redesigns, or refunds.
If something feels slightly off, I’m happy to consider small, timely adjustments where possible. Please keep in mind that oil is a traditional medium that develops in layers over time, so revisions are most effective when requested early in the process. My goal is for you to love your finished piece, and I’ll do my best to accommodate reasonable adjustments along the way.
Clear communication before I begin is the best way to ensure the final piece feels right, which is why our initial conversation is so important to the process.
