A successful commission depends on both parties. I deliver the work to spec, and my collectors trust and support me while I create.
I make this process enjoyable for you to ease the pressure in the nuanced arena of art collecting. Being an educator in the arts influences my skill to listen, discuss and interpret your new artwork.

Become A Collector
If you admire my artwork and art style, but have a specific subject matter or composition in mind - go with a commission. However, if you found an existing piece on my site you love, I'd encourage you to forgo the commission and acquire that work.
I create a couple selective works on commission every year.
I create a couple selective works on commission every year.
- Process Overview: What you can expect from me.
- Before either of us agree to begin, we'll have an informational meeting so I can understand your vision for the work as well as give us a chance to get to know each other. (Title, Medium, Size, Price, etc.)
- I accept commissions based on the promise that my artistic expression is not muffled through the creation of your custom art.
- This canon of creativity will ensure you receive the best artwork!
- Contract: An outline of the terms.
- We'll agree on a timeline for deliverables such as a preliminary design, progress report, edits, and completion.
- A contract will be provided with 35% down payment expected at the time of signing.
- I'll create a preliminary design in the form of a study. This will include sketches and a model if the commission is a site-specific artwork.
- Pricing: Private commissioned artwork will range between $2000 - $15,000.
- It will entirely depend on the intricacy, size and materials of the artwork.
- Assume an additional 20% to the rate of artwork in my portfolio for custom artwork commissions.
- This up-charge is the result of my expertise, and I'm willing to carefully discuss this situation with my client.
- I will consider multiples for a discount. (For example, one for $7,000 but two for $12,000)
