Painting/Mural Commissions
Working together on a bespoke painting or mural is an extremely fulfilling experience for me and for my client, whether it’s a family portrait or a moment in time. There is nothing more rewarding than being told their painting brought a loved one to tears or gave them goosebumps. I treasure working with every single client to create layers of exciting marks and capturing the timeless essence of my subject through layers of color, texture, and form, culminating in your special piece.

Working together on a bespoke painting is so fulfilling for me, whether it’s a family portrait or a moment in time. I love working with clients to create their special piece. Here’s how…
FIRST STEP:
Book a consultation below. We talk about your idea and vision. We decide on color palette and design through several consultations of images. I mock-up a color palette on a small canvas and finalize a price, primarily based on size and approx $2.50 per square inch (6 square cms) with a minimum size of 20”x20”.
SECOND STEP:
The painting will have at least five layers/passes to get the depth and richness of color and texture. Some of these layers may be sanded back at some point to reveal underlayers. I will send images of the painting after the first one or two passes of paint. You will get to see it again closer to completion for final thoughts.
FINAL STEP:
Although my painting process is involved and has many layers, I do work quickly in the initial stages to get the spontaneous energy, color contrast and bold marks. I expect to deliver the piece to you by an agreed date, usually within four weeks of starting the piece. If local, I will hang the piece at no extra cost. I love a piece to find its special home.
