The Commission Process
Step 1. Reach out using the contact form to give a general description of your project.
Step 2. I will respond via email requesting photos of the wall, approximate dimensions, and any photo references of your vision.
Step 3. We will schedule a phone consultation to discuss your project in detail, including your preferred timeframe and approximate start date.
Step 4. After the initial design fee is paid, a quick sketch followed by a full design of the project will be created for your approval.
Step 5. All project details will be included in a contract agreement to be signed before painting begins. After design approval, I will ask for 50% deposit upfront and I will begin painting! :)
Step 6. Final payment is due after the project is completed. Most projects take between 1-8 days to complete from start to finish.

Prices can vary greatly for professional artists compared to beginners. There is a lot of time that goes into making a custom piece of art that most people don’t think about. Expect to pay no less than $800 ranging all the way up to 20K, with the median price being around $2500. My prices typically range from $800-$5000.

Most of my creative vision is drawn from nature. I like to sit with your ideas for a day or two outside before coming up with a custom design. I tend to make a mood board for the both of us to draw upon as well to make sure were on the same page.
