Frequently Asked Questions about Commissions

  1. Are you open to commissions?

    Yes - I would love to create a special piece for you or a loved one!

  2. When will my order be ready?

    To guarantee the utmost quality and on-time delivery, it is crucial to factor in adequate time for completion and drying. Holidays and birthdays can sneak up… while I try my absolute best to accommodate, drying time, complexity of the piece, and quantity of orders in my queue can impact when the order will be ready. We can discuss timing during the request process.

  3. How does payment for commissions work?

    After confirming the details of your request with you, I’ll need a signed, approved order sheet and a 50% non-refundable deposit of the total quoted price to start working on the piece(s). The remaining 50%, plus any add-on costs requested (e.g., framing, shipping), is due prior to final delivery. Local pickup/payment is available depending on customer’s location.

  4. What is your guidance regarding reference photos?

    The most important part for me to capture your request to the best of my ability is high-quality reference photos; they need to have proper lighting, adequate resolution, no added filters, and proper angles. I’d be happy to work with you if needed! The quality of the reference photo can impact my ability to complete the request.

  5. What kind of commissions do you take?

    Some examples of painting commissions are: pet portraits, wildlife, holiday ornaments, food paintings, and landscapes. I do not accept requests for logos, digital art, or complex / heavily manipulated designs.
