I accept a limited number of commissions for original artwork.
Let’s talk about the process!
First we will meet either face-to-face or screen-to-screen to discuss your art commission. I want to know everything
about your vision, the more detail the better. I will also give you feedback and ideas based on my own artistic process.
Next, you will send me every visual example you can find that captures the vibe, theme, style, color scheme, etc. as the artwork
you want me to create. I will take all of your ideas, dump them in my brain, swirl them around and start putting together your piece.
I will also share visual examples, sketches, and drafts with you to make sure I’m getting it ALL right. I work across multiple mediums including canvas paintings, murals, portraits (pet and human), illustration, sculpture, small custom figurines, etc.
If you have an idea you don’t see listed here, I can almost always make it work. Just reach out!

A Note on Creative Process
Any art project you hire me for comes with my own style, instincts, and creative flow. Your input is a crucial piece of the process and is very welcomed, however, my strongest and best work happens when I’m trusted to interpret your idea and make artistic decisions along the way. My most successful pieces culminate when I’m given space to explore creatively while staying aligned with your vision.
