Commission a Painting You're Sure to Love!
THE COMMISSION PROCESS
Thank you for your interest in my commission painting process.
It is always a pleasure to receive a request for custom artwork. A commission is a true collaboration between the artist and the client and reflects not only my style and observations as the artist, but also your preferences and personality as the client. The whole process can be as memorable as the painting itself.
"Custom pieces can enhance a space while introducing something personally distinctive and authentic to you."
- Julie Davis
Let's Get Started
1 | MEET & GREET
Once you've submitted your request form, I will be in touch (usually within 72 hours.)
The process begins with an informal chat about size, colors, budget, typically over email (sometimes zoom). I use images & color palettes that you choose from my previous works as a spring board for your unique painting commission.
2 | AGREEMENT
Once everything has been agreed in a simple commission agreement, the first invoice of a non-refundable installment deposit (pre-arranged in our initial discussion) is submitted and I can begin bringing your painting to life!
3 | BRINGING YOUR PAINTING TO LIFE!
Throughout the project, I provide you email updates with images of your work in progress. Once the painting is complete, I’ll send you a final photograph just to make sure you're happy.
4 | FINISHING TOUCHES
I, of course, want you to be happy with your artwork, so I include 2 rounds of minor alterations within the proposed quote. This works to both our advantages in that your commission will be finished in a timely manner and within your budget.
If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with your commission (this has never happened!), you may use your deposit as credit in my online store. This means I am able to make the finished painting available for purchase elsewhere.
5 | COLLECTION, INSTALL or SHIPPING
Upon final approval of your completed commission you’ll recieve the last itemised invoice.
Collection or shipping of your final artwork to it’s final destination occurs after payment has been received.

Commissioned Artwork - A Thoughtful Gift
Gift Certificates can be purchased as payment towards any commission.
They can be particularly useful if you would like to commission a piece as a gift but are not able to obtain appropriate reference photos of the subject without the cooperation of the one to which it is gifted.
