Everyone deserves to have beautiful and meaningful art in their home.

CUSTOM PAINTINGS ARE A REALLY FUN INVESTMENT WHEN YOU’VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH AN ARTIST’S STYLE, BUT YOU HAVEN’T YET FOUND THE EXACT RIGHT PAINTING.

Maybe a different color combination speaks to you, or maybe you’re really inspired by a place or memory that you’d love to see captured through original art.

If you love my style and this sounds like you, let’s chat. A commission could be the perfect solution to getting a painting that is uniquely you and that you’ll cherish forever.

“Stephanie made each step of the commission process easy and exciting.

She clearly communicates expectations up front. When I received the commission mood board she created based on our conversation, it was clear she not only listened, but also understood the heart of what I wanted from my painting. Even months after receiving the finished painting, I enjoy looking through the time lapse and detail shots she shared as the painting neared completion. Stephanie is an intuitive, sensitive person who listens to your vision and brings it to life on canvas. I am thrilled that I chose to work with her.”

“Working with Stephanie to create this piece was a dream, because she really brings her clients in on the creative process.

Before she started work on the painting, we worked together to come up with a feel for the piece, how it would fit into my home, and what my memories of the scene conjure for me. Once we had a plan for the piece, she checked in with me throughout her creative process. There was literally one change I offered. She was absolutely brilliant with her execution of the piece. This piece means so much to me because it’s of a scene I loved from a trip that meant the world to me, and to have it produced in such a gorgeous medium with her impressive eye and talent with a brush meant the world to me.”

“The commissioned piece blew me away.

Stephanie’s process emphasized capturing an understanding of my vision, presenting preliminary sketches and color directions. In turn, I fully entrusted the rest to her recommendations and talent. The result is stunning, beautiful and a testament certainly to her talent, but also to the care which Stephanie took to understand what it was that I was hoping for as an end result. It should be noted that as an anniversary gift, my wife has probably never been as moved by a gift in four decades of anniversary gifts.”

“Stephanie is easy and fantastic to work with.

My coworkers and I wanted to get our supervisor a memorable retirement gift. After several options were discussed we all decided that commissioning a piece of art from from Stephanie would be a fantastic and one of a kind gift. We gave her a vision of what we were wanting, and she took the very light guidance and created an amazing work of art. You will not be disappointed. She will take your vision and bring it to life.”

How the commission process works:

1. brainstorming

We'll hop on a call to discuss colors, size, feel, inspiration, and timeline. The fun part!

2. Agreement & Deposit

We'll both sign an agreement outlining the details, and you'll pay a 50% deposit to secure your spot.

3. Work Begins

I start painting! You'll receive in-progress photos and two rounds of complimentary edits if necessary.

4. Final Payment & Delivery

Once paid in full, your painting will ship within three business days. Enjoy your unique piece for life!

Commissions are available in any size, with almost endless customization opportunities

Commissions cost around 15-20% more than non-custom paintings because of the extra love and care that go into them.

Proposals are customized to the size, number, and style of paintings that you’d like. Most clients spend between $750-$2,000 on custom paintings.

Brainstorming and planning sessions are free, so please reach out if you have an idea that you’d like my perspective on.

Commissions FAQ

Can I commission a series of paintings?

Yes! I love working on paintings in a series. In our first phone call, we'll discuss the best sizes and options for your space.

How involved do I have to be? What if I'm not artsy and I'm unsure of how to describe what I'm looking for?

This is something we talk about on our first phone call. You can be as involved (or not) as you wish! For clients who prefer more direction from me, I create mood boards and color palette options to ensure that we're on the same page before I start painting. This helps the process go smoothly and gives you options and inspiration to respond to.

Can I send you photos and paint samples for inspiration?

Yes! I love having photos and paint samples as a starting point. This helps ensure that your commission is the best fit for you and your space.

Do you accept returns or exchanges? What if I don’t like my painting?

I make every effort to ensure that you are happy with your painting. Due to the custom nature of commissions, I cannot accept returns or exchanges once a commission has shipped. However, if at any point you’re not loving the photos-in-progress of your commission, your non-refundable 50% deposit can be used to purchase non-commissioned work instead. That said, I've never had this happen. Rest assured that if you love my style, the two of us will create something you love!

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! Commissions can be booked up to a year in advance with monthly payments. I will start working on your painting once half of the total cost has been paid, and your painting will ship once it has been paid in full.

How long do commissions take, and when will I receive my painting?

Commissions typically take 6-8 weeks to complete, though I can accomodate special occasions and deadlines on request. Your painting will ship within three business days of final payment.
