Portraits
Commissioned paintings are the perfect way to combine the precious moments and loved ones with a unique piece of artwork.
I can produce a personalized and individual art piece for your favourite...
Family Portraits
A single subject or an entire family. A commissioned family portrait is an elegant and unique addition to any home.
Pets
Life-like or stylized. Posed or at play. This is the perfect way to capture a moment in time of your precious pet to last a lifetime.
Landscapes
Do you have a favourite place that fills you with warmth and inspiration -- or is just special to you? Capture that feeling in a unique piece of art.
Your Idea or Design
A cover image for your music album. A wall mural. Your favourite building. Turn any idea or design you want into a personalized art piece.
"Commissions are all about an artist and a client working together to bring a vision to life. One of my favourite parts of the commision process is learning about the story behind your piece."

How does getting a Commission work?
Step 1: Selecting your Image and Surface
Got the perfect idea for your commission? Great! let's chat about which surface is going to suit you best. Not quite sure about your idea yet? No worries! We can discuss different compositions and options. Generally, I work from photo references that you provide. The best photographs for commissions are clear and crisp and are unedited (i.e. without any filters). But don't worry if the only photos you have are low quality, we can still make something work!
Step 2: Mock-up and Deposit
I will send you a mock-up of your piece for your review. Once you are happy with the mock-up you will receive an invoice for a 25% deposit. Once the deposit is paid, I can start painting!
Step 3: Painting
I love to share the painting process on social media. I will ask if you are comfortable with this, and if so I will post regular updates so that you can see your piece come together!
Step 4: Drying and Varnishing
Because I work in oils pieces can take several weeks to fully cure. Once varnished your piece will be ready to ship.
Step 5: Shipping
Once the piece is finished, I will send you a photo for your review. You can let me know if you'd like any changes before I varnish the piece. Once you approve the piece, I will send you an invoice for the balance of the piece. Once the balance is paid, your piece will be packaged with lots of love and shipped to you!

The most affordable painting surface. Canvas paper has the benefit of being easy to frame.

A classic and affordable painting surface. A canvas panel is a backing board wrapped with a canvas sheet.
Thin Edge Wood Panel
A cost effective alternative to the thick edge wood panel. The thin edge panel is lighter and shallower, and is also read to hang with or without a frame.
Thick Edge Wood Panel
One of the most popular painting surfaces. these pieces are ready to hang with or without a frame.
