Original artwork inspired by the places, wildlife, and memories that mean the most to you.
Some moments stay with us long after they've passed. A beloved pet who greeted you every day, an animal you've always felt a connection to, the face of someone who means the world to you, a favorite hiking trail, the view from a family cabin, or a quiet lake at sunset.
A custom commission transforms those memories into an original painting created just for you—something to enjoy every day and treasure for years to come.
One of my favorite parts of being an artist is hearing the stories behind each commission.
Whatever memory or subject brought you here, it's an honor to create artwork that preserves it in a meaningful way — something you can look at every day and feel that same connection all over again.
Every commission is painted by hand, and I work in both my signature nature-inspired style and a more photorealistic approach, depending on what best suits your piece. Whether capturing the atmosphere, light, and feeling of a place or rendering it with fine detail and precision, I stay true to the details that matter most to your story.
1. Share Your Idea
Tell me about the place, memory, or subject you'd like to capture. You can send photos, describe a favorite location, or simply share the story behind it. Don't worry if your idea isn't completely formed—a few reference images and a conversation are often all we need to get started.
2. Receive Your Proposal
Within 2 business days, I'll send you a personalized quote including:
If everything looks good, a 50% deposit reserves your place in my commission schedule. Deposits are non-refundable, as work begins immediately on sketches and composites once a deposit is received.
3. Watch It Come to Life
Before painting begins, you'll receive a detailed sketch for approval. As your painting develops, I'll share progress photos and invite feedback before the final layers are completed, ensuring you're involved throughout the process.
4. Welcome Your Finished Painting Home
Once your painting is complete, you'll receive a final photo before shipment. Your artwork ships fully insured and arrives carefully packaged, ready to hang and enjoy.
Most commissions are completed in approximately 3 weeks for smaller works, while larger or more detailed pieces may take several months depending on size and complexity.
| Size | Starting Price |
|---|---|
| Small (up to 11" x 14") | From $250 |
| Medium (up to 16" x 20") | From $600 |
| Large (24" x 36" and larger) | From $1,200 |
Final pricing depends on size, level of detail, subject matter, and medium. Every commission receives a personalized quote before any commitment is made.
A custom commission is a meaningful way to celebrate life's special places and moments. Whether you're looking for artwork for yourself or someone you love, commissions are perfect for:
Every artist has a unique style, and every commission reflects mine.
My work is inspired by the quiet beauty of nature—soft light, rich textures, and the peaceful feeling of being outdoors.
Rather than reproducing a photograph exactly, I create a painting that captures the emotion and atmosphere of a place while preserving the details that make it personally meaningful to you.
The result is an original work of art that feels timeless, personal, and unmistakably yours.

"This painting means so much to our family. Not only is it beautifully done, but knowing it was created just for us makes it even more special. We love all the little details, from the expressions on each elephant to the beautiful warm tones and the way the whole piece feels so full of life. It captures our family in such a unique and meaningful way. It's something we'll treasure for years, and we're constantly getting compliments on it. This painting actually makes you feel happy when you look at it! The bright yellows perk up the entire room. " - Danny & Olivia S.
How long does a commission take?
Most small commissions are completed in approximately three weeks, while larger or more detailed paintings may take several months. If you have a specific deadline or gift date in mind, feel free to reach out before booking.
Can I request changes?
Yes. You'll approve a detailed sketch before painting begins, receive progress updates throughout the process, and review a final photograph before shipment. Minor revisions are welcome before the painting is finished.
What if I'm not happy with the finished painting?
Because you'll be involved throughout the creative process—from sketch approval to progress photos—this is uncommon. If your painting doesn't reflect the approved design, please contact me within seven days of delivery so we can work together toward a fair resolution.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. International shipping is available for an additional shipping fee based on destination. Please note that customs duties or import taxes may apply and are the responsibility of the buyer. Every original painting is carefully packaged in a professional art shipper or reinforced box to ensure it arrives safely.
What mediums do you work in?
Watercolor, acrylic, and mixed media.
Every meaningful painting begins with a conversation.
Whether you have a clear vision or simply a favorite place you can't stop thinking about, I'd love to hear your ideas and help bring them to life.
There's absolutely no obligation until you've reviewed and approved your personalized quote.
