Commissions

As an artist, I spend most of my time creating original paintings either from my imagination, or from the emotions of the moment, expressing myself in vivid colors and textures that I love.

That means I don't always have the perfect fit or size for your home decor, but don't worry! If you like my style, and want a painting in your own favorite colors and size, I do take commissions. 

If you’d like to commission a painting, please give me as much detail as you can in your email, and I will get back to you as soon as possible with an estimate and a contract agreement. My standard commission rates are as follows:

• Original paintings cost $2,00- $2.50 /sq inch depending on the complexity and type of painting. 
• I use professional grade paints and materials, so my paintings are made to be of archival quality, meaning they're meant to last for tens if not hundreds of years without fading.
• Larger sized or multiple-painting commissions will receive a discount to be negotiated. 
• My standard canvas is a traditional 0.75" thick canvas. Framing or gallery-wrapped canvas are available upon request. 
• Resin coating (for acrylic paintings only) adds roughly $0.50 per square inch. Resin is beautiful and shiny, but it is toxic to work with until it cures. It also lowers the expected life of the painting as all resin will eventually yellow with time and needs to be kept out of sunlight to last as long as possible. 
• All paintings take 1-2 months to complete so they can fully dry and cure before varnishing. Oil paintings may take up to 6-12 months to fully cure so are traditionally not varnished until much later, but I use Gamvar Picture Varnish in Gloss which can be applied much sooner than that.

Please reach out if you have any questions. 

Thank you,
