CONTACT & COMMISSION
I enjoy painting a variety of subjects, from people and animals to landscapes and narrative compositions. When working on a commission, getting to know the people I'm painting or working with is an integral part of my process, as I am curious and drawn to stories and people. Inquiring about a commission may be new to you, so here are some steps to guide you through my process.
To begin, I will first need several photos and a conversation, either by email, text, phone and/or in-person. I am a visual translator, taking what you share and interpreting it through painting. We will discuss timelines (yours and mine), size, cost and delivery options.
With logistics settled, I will work on a composition and send a draft. Once that is approved, I will begin painting and may ask for additional photos or information during the process. I will send an update shortly before the painting is completed, and then when it is done! There is no revision process; all of the input and feedback happens during our conversations and the initial composition(s).
Once I begin painting, a non-refundable downpayment is required. If you choose not to purchase the final painting, you are under no obligation. This gives both parties flexibility in this artistic endeavor, as in all creative acts, one must dip into the creative unknown and allow it to blossom. This said, after dozens of commissions, every patron has purchased their final painting, so I feel confident that if you enjoy my work, you will be pleased with your custom painting! The best way to reach me about a commission is via email or text.
