Art That Speaks to You

Creating Your Commission

Most of my favorite pieces started as someone else's idea. Here's how the process usually goes, so you know what to expect before you reach out.

  1. Tell me your vision.

    Fill out the inquiry form below with as much or as little as you have — a rough idea, a photo of the space, a color you love. There are no wrong answers at this stage.

  2. Talk it out together.

    I’ll call or email you within 2 weeks to ask questions and share initial thoughts. This is where we work together to move from “What if…” to a rough draft idea. This part is free and no obligation.

  3. Begin design.

    Once we decide on a vision, I'll provide a sketch or design concept and an initial quote based on the details of our conversation. You’ll pay a $100 design fee which includes my initial design, 2 additional consultations and 2 additional design edits based on our conversations. The design fee will apply to the final cost of the completed piece.

  4. Finalize quote.

    Once we have agreed on design, size, and timeline, I’ll provide a firm quote. Commissions typically begin at $150-300 per square foot, depending on size, color, and complexity. The quote will also include whether the finished piece requires local pickup (free) or delivery (cost based on size and shipping method).

  5. Make your art come alive.

    With a 50% deposit paid, I begin the work. I will share progress along the way via email and phone, including photos of the creation process.

  6. Deliver your art.

    Once your piece is completed, it will be available for local pickup or delivery (as determined earlier). For large panels and architectural installations, I can share hanging and installation guidance.
