COMMISSION WORK
An artwork has the ability to hold our memories, our emotions, and our daily reminders in a way that goes beyond language into the shared world of the heart.
I accept a limited number of private commissions throughout the year. Each piece is created through an artist-led process centered around symbolism, atmosphere, emotional resonance, and personal meaning.
I would love to work with you to create an artwork that holds your memory or a moment in time. If you are interested in connecting with me to commission an oil pastel painting, start by filling out the inquiry form below. I will reach out within 1-3 business days with more detailed information about the type of commission you’ve inquired about to prepare you before we have an Exploration Call.
An Exploration Call is an opportunity for us to connect before committing to a commission. This is where I will learn more about your vision, and answer your questions before moving forward with the intake process. This may be in the format of a call, or we can also communicate with an email questionnaire that will collect the same important details to give you a quote for your artwork.
If you decide to move forward, a 50% deposit is required to book any size of commission. Following our conversation, you will receive a project proposal of the concept, timeline and pricing we discussed, as well as an agreement to sign and secure your commission spot.
Commission Model
Creating your artwork begins by identifying one of these three paths. Use these descriptions to help you know which commission type you’re interested in.
Memory Anchors
These smaller-format works are the most intimate and accessible entry point into my commission process.
Created through a more structured and interpretive format, these pieces are centered around the symbolic imagery of emotionally significant objects, birds, florals. In my work, these pieces are created around themes of memory, loss, joyful mementos, or personal association.
These works are best suited for collectors who are drawn to my visual language and want to invite that perspective into something personally meaningful.
Studio Symbolic Commissions currently begin around $325+.
Portraits of Place
These works are centered around emotionally significant spaces — homes, thresholds, corners, entryways, porches, gardens, and places that hold memory. Rather than focusing solely on architectural likeness, these portraits explore the emotional atmosphere of a place and the quiet weight it carries over time.
Because these pieces often involve a more layered interpretive and architectural process, they are approached separately from symbolic commissions and accepted in limited numbers.
Home Memory Portraits currently begin around $500+.
Collector Works
Collector Commissions are larger-scale or more deeply developed works created around highly personal narratives, layered symbolism, or emotionally significant subject matter. These pieces involve a more immersive conceptual process and are intended for collectors seeking a substantial and deeply considered work within my practice.
Due to the depth and scale of these works, availability is limited and projects are accepted selectively.
Collector Commissions are quoted individually and typically begin around $900+.
Use the form below to start your journey. Please include some basic details about the piece you envision, including the subject matter, size and timeline. Briefly include what your piece is meant to commemorate, but every commissioned artwork will include an interview process to discuss the meaning and emotional narrative behind your piece as a part of the intake process.
