Commission a Painting
Some things deserve more than a photograph.
I create original paintings of animals, places, and meaningful objects from the photographs and stories you share with me. Each commission is individually composed and painted to reflect what makes each subject worth remembering.
Commissions begin at $275
Animals
Paintings of the animals who become part of our lives.
From loose studies on raw canvas to detailed portraits within a familiar landscape, each painting begins with photographs and the stories that help me understand the animal beyond what they looked like.
Watercolor Portraits
Starting at $275
Smaller, intimate portraits with a lighter, more immediate quality. Great for gifts and straightforward single-animal portraits.
Raw Canvas Portaits
Starting at $400
Loose, expressive, contemporary, with the raw canvas incorporated into the finished piece.
Environmental Portraits
Starting at $600
Paintings that capture an animal within a place or moment that belongs to their story, from a familiar landscape to the setting in which you remember them best.
Places
Paintings of the places that become part of our stories.
Homes, landscapes, and familiar buildings can hold entire chapters of a life. I paint places from photographs and memories, preserving not only what they looked like, but why they mattered.
Watercolor Homes & Places
Starting at $325
Light, intimate paintings of homes, buildings, and meaningful places. Particularly suited to house portraits, wedding gifts, first homes, family properties, and places worth remembering.
Signature Places
Starting at $1250
Paintings of homes, landscapes, and places with a story to tell. These commissions allow for greater detail, atmosphere, and interpretation, creating a painting specific to both the place and the memories attached to it
Objects
Some stories already have an object attached to them.
Saddles, serving pieces, and other objects can carry the history of the people, animals, and places connected to them. Through paint, I give those stories another way to be kept.
Heirloom Objects
Custom Quoted
A limited collection of saddles and found objects is available for custom work, or send an object of your own to be transformed. Each piece is individually designed around the object, the imagery you share, and how you hope to use or display it.
The Experience
Every commission begins with a story.
You don’t need to know exactly what the finished painting should look like. Share the photographs, memories, and details that matter to you, and I’ll help shape them into the right piece.
-
Tell me what you have in mind and send any photographs or stories that might help me understand the subject.
-
We’ll work together to decide on the medium, composition, size, timing, and details of the piece. Once everything feels right and we’ve agreed on a quote, a fifty percent deposit reserves your commission and establishes your completion timeline. Most commissions require at least 30 days from booking to completion.
-
I’ll create your piece in my studio, using what you’ve shared as the foundation while allowing the painting to develop naturally. I’ll give you the option to receive weekly updates, or to be surprised by the final piece.
-
Your finished work is carefully prepared for its next chapter, whether that means shipping, installation in your home, framing, or gift wrapping.
Have something in mind?
An animal you still think about, a place that feels like home, or an object carrying a story.
I’d love to hear about it.
