Commission An Artwork
If you like my work but are looking for a different size, mood or color than what is currently available, I would love to discuss creating a bespoke mural or painting that brings your vision to life! Your finished piece will be a one-of-a-kind original work you can enjoy in your home or office for years to come.
Learn more about my process and how you can commission your own artwork below.
Commission a Mural
Step 1: Consultation
If the location allows, I'd love to meet in person to discuss your vision, survey the wall, take measurements, and understand the full scope of the project. If an in‑person meeting isn’t possible, we can easily connect via Zoom.
After our meeting, I will provide a Letter of Agreement outlining all project details, including:
• Timeline
• Deposit and payment schedule
• Design expectations
• Any additional considerations
Step 2: Letter of Agreement
Step 3: Design & Approval
Once my design is complete, you will receive a digital mock-up to review before work begins. A flat $500 will be charged for this concept sketch, with one free revision.
My mural fee typically ranges from $50–$60/sq ft., depending on size and complexity. This includes materials and local travel (within 10 miles).
Custom Mural Additional Details
• Design Fee: One free revision is included in your initial design fee. Any additional revisions will be charged at $75/hour.
• Deposit: A 50% deposit of the mural fee is requested once the design is approved.
• Travel Fee: Projects beyond a 10‑mile radius will include an additional travel charge.
• Wall Preparation: If the wall is in poor condition, I will subcontract to a commercial painter. For new construction, a smooth finish is ideal. A primer and base coat should be painted on the wall before the mural begins. If it is an existing wall and the wall is in good condition, no special preparation is required.
Commission a Painting
Step 1 : Determine the size, theme and pricing.
I will work closely with you to determine the initial specifications for your painting, according to your vision and the needs of your particular space.
Step 2: Pay deposit to hold your spot.
Once you are ready to place your order, you pay a down payment of 50% to secure your slot in my client waiting list. After I receive your payment, I will begin work on your piece. The remaining 50% balance will be due at the time of pick up.
Step 3: Watch your painting come to life.
My commissions undergo a multi-step process to ensure that your painting aligns with your vision. At various stages I will update you on the progress of your piece, which will allow you to see your painting and make comments for adjustment. Please let me know if you would prefer me not to post on social media, in case it spoils a surprise gift.
Step 4: Give final approval.
Once I have completed the commission, I will email a photo of the painting for your approval. At this stage, I will be able to make minor adjustments at your request. After final approval has been given, we can arrange for pick up.
Step 5: Remaining balance and delivery.
Upon full satisfaction of the completed artwork, you will be invoiced for the remaining balance and we can arrange for pick up or delivery. I will provide you with a tracking number once the painting has been scheduled for delivery.
Step 6: Share your experience.
After you have received your commission, please consider writing a testimonial! One of the best parts of my job is receiving customer feedback and seeing pictures of the artwork in their homes.
For an additional fee, you can also purchase a Giclée art print of your commissioned piece. This is perfect if you want to gift a print of your commission to family members or have a copy for your second home.
