Commissions

What’s your vision?

Along with a photo reference, feel free to include colour schemes, details on what you want your artwork evoke, pictures of where the artwork will be hung, and any ideas or thoughts about how I can create an interesting piece of art that you will love. While I am capable of faithfully reproducing a photograph, as an artist it is my goal to paint something creatively interesting and dynamic.  I provide commissions in oil or watercolour.

All commission clients are asked to pay 50% upfront to secure spots and materials. For larger sized paintings, monthly instalments can be made. To calculate how much it will cost to commission my work, my 2025 rate is $4 per square inch (Canadian), plus materials, with a minimum size of 8x10 inches.  So, an 8x10 would cost $320 plus materials, aproximately $330 for a standard oil painting.  I provide free shipping anywhere in Canada or the US.  Local or international?  If I do not need to ship your painting I will minus the amount of shipping from the total.  If international, I will minus the cost for standard shipping from the total amount.

After we discuss the work and I accept the deposit, we can begin the process of bringing your vision to life. I will prepare a digital mock-up of the concept. Once you approve the mock-up, I’ll get to work!  Expect between 3-4 months for me to complete your artwork.  Oil paints with varnishes may require longer dry times.

Once your painting has dried and cured I will send you a photo and an invoice for the rest of the commissioned amount.  Now, your work will be ready to go to its new home!​
