Custom Artwork & Commission Paintings

Looking to fill that empty wall but can’t quite find the right piece of art? Or how about the perfect gift for a loved one? No matter the occasion, it’s to simple work 1-on-1 with me to request and receive exactly what you’re looking for.

Hi! I’m so happy you’re here.

Most artists (including me!) are willing to create a custom piece of artwork for you, all you need to do is ask! There are different reasons why you might want to ask for a commission, instead of purchasing a painting "off the wall."

You might like a certain painting, but it just won't fit the wall you have for it. You may have memories of a certain spot and want a painting based on photos you have taken to commemorate a special memory. From an interior designer's point of view, you may need specific colors or motifs within the painting to work within a room you are creating.

Whatever the reason is for your commission request, it is wise to have a clear idea of what you are looking for from the start so you can describe what you like. I specialize in modern abstracts and contemporary landscapes. My modern abstracts generally set the mood or tone of the room they are in rather than commanding total attention when one walks in.

If you’re looking for something potentially more impactful or resembling a specific place you’ve been, I’m also proficient in creating nature-inspired impressionistic scenes with modern elements. These contemporary landscapes are my most popular commission request.

INSPIRATION:

So you want some custom PNW art?
Here is what the process looks like:

  • 1. Reach out

    Reach out via the form below and let me know about you and what type of artwork you are looking for. This is also when you can let me know what color(s) and size you have in mind, share any inspirational photos (that you have taken or saved), and reference any of my previous work if you’ve noted something you like that I’ve already done.

  • 2. Let's chat

    Awesome! I am excited to work with you. Fill out the form at the bottom of this page and I will respond as soon as possible to clarify any questions I may have about the artwork you are interested in (rough pricing graph below). We will nail down the size, color, price, and art style you are looking for. We can also discuss shipping, pick-up, or delivery options.

  • 3. Green light

    Contracts will be formed laying out each detail previously discussed. Don’t be scared- This contract essentially says that you will pay and I will create. Upon digital signature, 50% of the payment will be required as a deposit. The remaining 50% will be charged on the day of the shipment/delivery/pick up. These payments will be invoiced securely online and can be paid digitally via credit card.

  • 4. I get to work

    Once the deposit has been made, I will begin working. Each commission painting usually takes about 3-5 weeks to create but if you have a specific/faster completion date in mind, I can do my best to work with you to make that happen. I will also email you photos of the painting as progress is made to keep you updated as possible on your artwork.

  • 5. You get your custom art

    When the painting is complete, I will let you know. Free pick-up is available from my art gallery in Ellensburg, Washington. Occasional complimentary delivery is possible in Central Washington or to the Seattle area if previously arranged. Shipment anywhere in the USA is available as well, with pricing dependent on the size of the artwork.

  • 6. You're happy

    Now the fun begins! Your beautiful new commissioned artwork is hanging in your home and the painting brings the room together. Not only that, but you adore it and you couldn’t be more thrilled about what a fun and easy experience you had working with me! Now you go tell all your friends and they request their own custom art as well.

Art investment

The cost of commissioned artwork is determined by the size artwork you'd like me to create for you. Rates start at $1100 for a 16x20" and go up to $3000 for 48x60” master canvas. Below is a rough look at some of the most popular sizes but please reach out if you’ve got another size in mind:

Consider a set option such as a "triptych" or a "diptych" set for your home: a painting that continues across two or three separate canvases, giving the art a unique, exciting look and offered at a slight discount.
