commissions

Commissioning a portrait is a great way to commemorate and celebrate your pets, loved ones, favourite memories, or really anything that brings you joy. 

  • The process of commissioning a portrait begins with the photo selection. I work together with you to select a quality photo that will translate into a beautiful painting from a compositional standpoint, and depicts the subject in a way that feels authentic and resonant with you. Once we’ve found our perfect photo, we will decide on a size and discuss the timeline, and then it’s time for me to get to work on your masterpiece! When your painting is complete, I will send you a photo so you can revise it and request any tweaks, if necessary. It is of the utmost importance to me that you to love your painting, so it’s never finished until you’re happy. 

    Each piece will be painted in oil on a maple wood panel or stretched canvas, depending on the look you’re going for.

  • Depending on the time of year, a commission can take anywhere from 2-16 weeks.

  • For custom portraits depicting one selected photo, I offer six standard sizes;

    12x16 $550

    16x16 $600

    16x20 $650

    18x18 $650

    20x20 $700

    24x24 $800

    For composite pieces which involve piecing together multiple images or altering an existing image in any way, there is a 25% surcharge.

  • Before any work begins a 50% commission reservation deposit is made which serves as a down-payment for your commission. The remaining balance and shipping fees will be paid upon completion of the work.
