I offer custom art commissions tailored to bring your ideas to life. I work closely with each client to create a piece that matches their vision.

Every commission is created with care, attention to detail, and open communication throughout the process. If you have a concept, reference images, or just a rough idea, I’d love to help turn it into a finished artwork.

Feel free to contact me to discuss your project, pricing, and availability!

Commission Process

PRICING

Commissions are quoted based on my current prices plus an additional $100 for consultation and customization. View my current works for sale to see what the prices are like based on the approximate size of the work you are interested in. Shipping and delivery outside of the Lehigh Valley area in Pennsylvania area is additional. When contacting me, please provide your name, address, and approximate size of the painting you’d like to commission.

CONSULTATION

We can consult on the commission via email, text, phone, or video call/conferencing. During our first meeting will discuss the following:

  • Size of artwork you want

  • Style of artwork, for example:

    • Abstract

    • Landscape

    • Portrait (human or animal)

  • Main medium you’d prefer, for example:

    • Watercolor

    • Acrylic

    • Collage

    • Mixed Media (a combination of different media that create the finished piece)

  • Substrate you’d prefer, for example:

    • Stretched Canvas

    • Cradled panel (a rigid surface)

    • Paper (framed or unframed)

We will also discuss the color palette and space you’re interested in displaying the artwork. A photo of your space plus dimensions are very helpful. In addition, we will discuss which artworks I have already created you like best so I can best fit the style you’re commissioning.

Commission Contract/Terms

After our first consultation meeting, I will create a commission contract and send it to you via email within 2 business days of our meeting. The contract will look something like this:

    The total price for the commission is $[amount]. This price does not include any additional shipping costs if needed. Shipping will be added, if needed, based on the Artist’s flat rate shipping fees (see Artist’s website for more information). A deposit of 50% the total price must be made upfront before work begins unless otherwise agreed in writing. The remaining balance must be paid before the final artwork is delivered or shipped.

  3. Process & Revisions
    The Artist will provide a sketch or work-in-progress preview for approval. Minor revisions may be requested once during this time. Major revisions or additional changes after approval may require an additional fee.

The artwork may not be resold, redistributed, or used for commercial purposes without written permission from the Artist. Prints of the artwork may not be made by the Client unless print rights are agreed upon separately. The Artist retains the right to make prints of the artwork to sell unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

In the event you are not happy with the final artwork, you do not have to pay the remaining balance on the commission. No refunds on your deposit will be given once the artwork is finished. You may choose to use that deposit to buy any artwork available on my website or as a credit for a future purchase.
