Commissions

Do you have an idea for a painting that you would like me to create? I'm now accepting commissions!

How It Works

I look at commissions as collaborations. I really enjoy working with clients to help bring their ideas to life! I work in a range of styles, from realism to expressive, and many different subjects including portraits, figures (clothed or nude), landscape, animals, still life, etc. My primary medium is oil on canvas.

For figurative art, I work primarily from photographic references. I will ask for stories about the person being depicted that can help guide the tone of the piece and colors that might have special significance to them. The goal is to create a piece that is both personal and powerful, reaching beneath the surface to reveal something more about the subject.

If I create a commission for you, I will submit an initial black and white sketch to you for approval and explain the direction I am planning to take the color. You can either request changes or approve the sketch. Once the sketch is approved, I’ll begin work on the painting and share photos with you throughout the process.
