PAINTING COMMISSIONS
Keep your most cherished items as part of your daily life, forever preserved on canvas.
Painting commissions include formal and informal portraits, wedding portraits, homes, businesses, boats, cars, pets and special requests.
PAINTING REFERENCE
There are a couple of options when we plan a commissioned painting:
I will work from high-quality photographs that you provide. I will also work from direct observation on-site by making quick sketches along with photographing the subject, depending on the circumstance.
I am able to turn simple photographs into great works of art, made personal to you and to last for generations to come.
I will collaborate with you to determine which painting references work best to create your custom painting commission.

How the process works
One
CONTEXT & CONSULTATION
Let's talk about your custom painting! I can help you decide the size of the canvas and other details that will make your commission personal and unique to you. Please send an email, call, or text to get the conversation started!
Two
STUDIO TIME
I work from my home studio and can send you progress updates for your approval. Commissions usually take 8-10 weeks from planning to completion. Oils take a little more time to set up, so I will make sure the painting is completely dry and ready to hang before I ship it to you or meet you for personal hand delivery.
Three
UNVEILING
All work can be hand delivered within a 25 mile radius of Harbor Springs, or I can have work professionally shipped to you.
Four
Enjoy your one-of-a-kind piece
Enjoy your painting for years to come. I use only high-quality painting materials on archival linen canvas. Your painting becomes part of your family's history and can adorn a wall wherever you live. Oil paintings are not only timeless, but they last for future generations.
What you can expect when we collaborate:
Support and guidance along the way to ensure your vision comes to life.
A highly personalized experience with a Master Artist who has over 30 years experience.
Artwork that is emotion-led and intuitively created
