COMMISSIONS
HOW TO BOOK A COMMISSION
Painting commissions has a very special place in my heart. I find it a huge honour to create a bespoke piece of art for my client’s home and believe that the process should be very personal and treasured by both my client and myself.
For this reason, I keep my commission places limited, as I only give my very best to this work and the very special paintings that are being entrusted to me. I only open up my calendar for commissions once or twice a year and only take on about a dozen or so clients to ensure that I create only the most exquisite paintings for my most treasured clients and their homes.
If you are interested in commissioning a work from me then please purchase a Commission Proposal pack at the bottom of this page. The cost is $99 (plus GST for Australian Clients)
This pack includes the following:
A document detailing each step of my commission process and the information I require from you to prepare you proposal document and quote
A reserved place in my commission calendar
Consultation by email (and also phone if necessary.)
A detailed, illustrated commission proposal document outlining your project so we are crystal clear on your project before I begin.
A quote and deposit amount required before beginning work (deposits are 1/3 the total cost) along with a contract.
THINGS TO KNOW
I only paint commissions in my own floral, botanical and abstract styles (see my website and Instagram for lots of inspiration). I don’t paint human or animal portraits or in styles that are not my own.
I don’t accept commissions with very tight deadlines. Beautiful things take time and stressed artists don’t paint good paintings.
I don’t accept commissions for anything smaller than 36” x 48”
Because they take so much more time and consideration in meeting your specifications, commissions are always more expensive than similar sized personal work that you may have seen listed in my shop.
If you purchase a Commission Proposal pack and upon receiving your initial information I discover that I am unable to fulfil your commission request, I will refund the full value of your pack.
Please note that as it takes several hours for us to compile a Commission Proposal, it is not refundable should you choose not to proceed with your project once it has been fully outlined.
