Personalized Painting Commissions
I love to do personalized painting commissions and many that I get are portraits of loved ones by another loved, or portraits of a pet, which I love getting too. Often a collector will see a painting that has been sold or see many paintings and just want a piece that they imagine from my work, and we have a wonderful time together creating a great, original piece. Please reach out to me if you are interested in discussing a commission.

Challenge and Excitement of Commissioned Paintings
Creating personalized painting commissions is an exciting challenge for me because it allows me to work within certain parameters or explore new subject matter and styles to meet the client’s expectations. I also enjoy the opportunity to connect with new people and from different walks of life. As a figurative artist, I like the collaborative relationship with my clients, which can be creatively fulfilling. This collaboration often involves ongoing communication, feedback, and a shared creative process.

Commissions and Unique Preferences
Commissioned artwork allows my clients to have a painting created specifically for their unique preferences, needs, and spaces. They can collaborate with me to ensure the painting aligns with their vision. For me, commissions are a great way to get to know my clients and to get creative and have a lot of fun during the process. We discuss what their dreams are, or what state of feeling they’re currently in and we can come to a decision about how to move forward with a painting that will be timeless and give them a lot of joy.
