Where Your Vision Comes To Life
Thank you for being here!
custom commissions
Some memories deserve more than a photograph.
I create realistic, heirloom-quality paintings designed to preserve the people, pets, and moments that matter most. From beloved companions and family portraits to deeply personal memorial pieces, each commission is thoughtfully planned and hand-painted with precision and care.
A walk through memory lane
A few of the commissions I've had the pleasure of creating.
When Photos Aren’t Enough
Some of the most meaningful pieces I create are moments that never existed in a single image. By carefully merging multiple references, I can bring loved ones together in one timeless portrait — honoring memory, connection, and legacy with realism and respect.
Investment
Every piece is thoughtfully designed and hand-painted to preserve your most meaningful moments with care, intention, and professional quality.

Every commission is handled with care, communication, and attention to detail from start to finish.

Fill out the commission form with your idea, photos, preferred canvas size, and any important details. I’ll personally review your request and reach out to begin planning your piece.

We’ll discuss your vision, reference photos, and overall composition. I’ll guide you through what works best artistically to ensure the final painting is beautiful and balanced.
3. Secure Your Spot
Once we finalize the concept, you’ll receive your commission contract and invoice. A 50% deposit secures your place in my schedule.
4. Creation Begins
Your canvas is prepared and the painting process begins. I’ll provide progress updates along the way so you can watch your artwork come to life.
5. Final Review
When the painting is complete, you’ll receive photos for approval. Minor adjustments are welcome (up to 2–3 small changes if needed).
6. Finish & Delivery

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do commissions cost?
Commissions are priced at $3 per square inch + tax and include up to two subjects. The final price depends on the canvas size and overall complexity of the piece.
How are additional subjects priced?
Additional subjects are priced separately depending on canvas size:
Small canvases (up to 11×14) → $50 per additional subject
Medium canvases (16×20 to 18×24) → $75 per additional subject
Large canvases (20×24 and larger) → $100+ per additional subject
This ensures each subject receives the time and detail needed to bring the painting to life.
Can you combine multiple photos into one painting?
Yes! This is something I specialize in. I often merge multiple reference photos to create meaningful compositions, especially for memorial pieces, family portraits, or pets who were never photographed together.
Do my reference photos need to be professional?
Not at all. Clear phone photos work perfectly. If you're unsure about your photos, feel free to send them along and I’ll help guide you. (If all you have is an old photo, I can work from that as well.)
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. A 50% deposit secures your commission spot, and flexible payment plans are available for the remaining balance if needed.
How long does a commission take?
My current booking timeline is approximately 4 months. Once your painting begins, completion time can range from 5 days for smaller pieces to several weeks for larger, more detailed paintings.
Will I see progress updates?
Yes! I share progress updates throughout the painting process so you can watch your artwork come to life.
Do you ship paintings?
Yes. Commissions can be carefully packaged and shipped. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the client.
What if I'm not sure what size to choose?
No problem! I’m happy to help recommend the best canvas size based on your space, number of subjects, and overall vision.
Your Story, Turned Into Art
Every commission begins with a story — a beloved pet, a cherished memory, a moment that deserves to live on beyond a photograph.
If you have an idea in mind, I would be honored to bring it to life through paint. Share your vision, your photos, or even just the beginnings of an idea in the form below, and I’ll personally review your request and guide you through the next steps.
I look forward to creating something truly meaningful with you.
