Commission: A Creative Experience
Did you know it’s possible to create the artwork you’ve been searching for? You just need a connection with the right artist and away you go! This is one of the most fulfilling things I do as a creator.
The beginning of the process is the most collaborative, as we work out the idea, design, colors and vantage point for your painting. Then I take our collaboration and run with it! My collectors love receiving photos of the painting as I’m painting it. Their excitement grows as the painting develops, with new layers and a deepening of the idea. Then it hits a crescendo when I deliver the painting. I have had more than one collector cry tears of joy on this occasion!
When you commission a painting you get to share the joy with your friends and family by telling the story first hand. You get to help them step into the magic of the creative process.

Examples
This commission was created for the Southcliff Community in Fairview, NC. I painted it in person on one of their high elevation properties. It captures their iconic view of the ridges out towards Round Knob.

How Does It Work?
You pick from the options above and contact me via email or phone to discuss the idea. If you are unsure which option, just call me! I’ll help you design the best piece for you. This is part of the fun of it, so please don’t hesitate to call 🙂
We meet to agree on design, size and color scheme. There are two options at this point:
Option 1) If the painting will be based on a single photograph this is simple. You will pay a 50% deposit and I will get started on the painting.
Option 2) If you want to get creative and make an imaginative scene, then it will be a longer but very enjoyable process. We will discuss ideas, find reference images and agree on a color scheme. I will do an initial sketch during the meeting so we can have something to agree on. You will pay 25% deposit.
The next stage in Option 2 is for me to paint a small study of the scene to make sure all the design elements work together. We will meet again so you can approve the study. At this point you will pay another 25% deposit so I can start on the final painting.
Framing) If you would like me to frame your painting, we will agree on the framing in the initial meeting. The cost will be added to the total amount for the commission. I make custom floating frames myself, so I can create the perfect frame to help the painting integrate with your space.
All deposits are non refundable.
I make the artwork. I will share photos with you so you can see the process.
When the artwork is complete I will contact you and send you an electronic invoice for the remainder of the value of the artwork. When you pay, I ship the artwork! Alternatively you can pay me in person if I deliver it to you.
I ship the artwork or deliver it if you live nearby. If I deliver, I can also help you hang the artwork on the wall.
You enjoy your beautiful new artwork!
