Frequently Asked Questions

 

about commissions

+ How can I find out the pricing for commissions?

Go to the Commission Inquiry page and sign up to "Get the commission email" with everything you need to know to plan your perfect painting, including the commission price chart. Please note: This is separate from my general mailing list, you will receive a special one time email when you sign up.

+ How do I begin a commission order?

Choose the right size for your space and budget. You can give me color ideas by sending interior paint colors, fabric swatches, or photos. Look through the site and tell me the titles of the pieces you are attracted to but might not be the right size & I can help you with the rest. Your order officially begins when you have officially chosen a size and made your deposit.

+ What if I want changes once the piece is in progress?

As long as you like my current work and allow me my fair share of artistic control, I am happy to accommodate your opinions and a few edits. I will send in progress photos so you feel able to express your opinions before the piece is even considered "finished" and this makes it easier for me to get it just right.

+ How does payment work for commissions?

You can pay in two installmentsโ€”50% deposit up front to begin your order & the remaining half when your painting is complete and you are 100% pleased with the finished piece.

+ What if I am not 100% satisfied with the piece?

I work closely with customers while the piece is in progress to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the color, balance, mood, & direction of the piece. You are not obligated to purchase the painting, and if you were to decide that it is not for you or your space, you will be able to use your 50% deposit as store credit to apply to another painting. However, this has never happened before, so hopefully you would not be the first.

+ How long will it take to get my commission painting?

Generally 8-16 weeks, depending on the season, but I love a good deadline so if you have something specific coming upโ€”an anniversary, party, etc. I will do my best to get it to you by then.
