custom
art commissions.
As an artist, I strive to create pieces that are not only visually stunning but also capture the essence of your story and your personal style.
about the process:
We will discuss your vision for the piece (on a call, meeting or email), focusing on the subject matter, size, and general preferences to ensure that the piece meets your expectations before beginning any work.
As I near the completion of your commission, I will share photos of the piece with you. This is a crucial stage as it allows you to provide feedback and make any changes before the piece is finalized.
This collaborative approach ensures that you are completely satisfied with the final result. I’m always willing to adjust the artwork as I believe that this transparent and open process leads to a more successful and meaningful result.
*depending on the project I might be able to provide reference photos, or we can use your pictures to base the artwork on.
As an artist, I understand that many people don't have a clear idea of what they want when it comes to commissioning art.
That's why I'm here to help you bring your vision to life, no matter how vague or uncertain it may be.

When you commission a custom piece of art, you are not only investing in a unique and meaningful addition to your home or workspace, but you are also acquiring a valuable asset. As the artist's career develops and their work gains recognition, the value of your piece could increase. It is a tangible asset that you can enjoy and appreciate while potentially benefiting from its financial value in the future. Furthermore, investing in art supports the arts community and allows artists to continue creating and sharing their work with the world.
All of my commissioned pieces come with a certificate of authenticity and caring instructions.

As an artist, every commissioned work is unique and comes in different sizes and materials and subject matter, which makes it challenging to provide a fixed price before discussing the specific project details.
However, I can provide reference prices for commissioning a landscape canvas painting based on similar works I have created in the past. These reference prices can give you an idea of what to expect in terms of cost.30x40cm - $550NZD
50x70cm - $1400NZD
150x80cm - $3800NZD
Additionally, you can check my shop to get an idea of the pricing for my previous works. Keep in mind that commissions are slightly more expensive than already-made works.
