"Love Is The Answer" 2023, 36" x 54"

Commission work for private residence in Kansas City.
Whatever your desire is, I am eager to find a concept that will manifest your ideas, interests, and beliefs, through art.
For the home, workplace, restaurant, hotel, or any environment that needs custom artwork. Let's work together to create a one of a kind expression of who you are.
Commission work (as all original artwork) is an investment. I certify each original artwork and provide valuation for insurance purposes and for resale or auction. I do require first refusal on any work that is being sold unless otherwise specified.

Please read the following information to help you decide whether a commission work is right for you. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have via CONTACT

Are you currently accepting commissions? Yes, I have space available for commission work through 2026-27. I work on commissions in between shows, so flexibility is the first step.
Where do I start? Contact me. CONTACT I will email you a questionnaire or we can schedule a phone conversation where I will ask you the questions directly. I always want to see the space where the work will go and ask questions about the environment it will live in.

What is the turn around time for commissions? This is piece dependent. Depending on the scale and elements of each piece of work, along with feedback from the client, commissions can take up to six weeks to three months, depending on our regular work schedule.

Is there a minimum budget and size for commission work? Yes, the minimum size is 30" x 30" and the minimum budget is $2500. If this is beyond your budget we can discuss making a piece that might be suitable for reproductions.

How personal can the work be, can I offer my own ideas and desires, can I give feedback over the course of making the piece? Of course, a commission work is me translating your idea. Obviously, the work will be my artistic interpretation of your idea. You will have several opportunities to offer feedback or ask for slight changes along the way. Once we reach a certain point, changes are not possible to make.

Can I use my own images in a collage based piece? I am happy to consider any high resolution scans of photos and images that you have but it may affect the time and cost of the project.

Can I commission a work similar to a piece you have already sold? Yes, this is a very common request. If it is the same conceptually, that alleviates some of the budgetary weight. That is, a piece with the same theme and images as a past work will be more cost efficient.

Do you require a deposit, and what happens if I change my mind? Yes. Once we agree on the scope of your commission, I will provide a contract outlining your project. A signed contract and 50% deposit are required before work begins. After I present your initial mock-up, you’ll have an opportunity to review the direction of the piece. If you decide not to move forward at this stage, I will refund 70% of your original deposit. Once you approve the initial mock-up and we proceed, the remaining deposit becomes nonrefundable.

Will I have opportunities to request revisions and approve the artwork? Absolutely! Collaboration is an important part of the commission process. Your commission includes two rounds of revisions, allowing you to provide feedback and request adjustments as the artwork develops. Any additional revisions or significant changes to the original concept may affect the cost and completion date. Once all revisions are complete, I will present the finished artwork for your final approval. After final approval, no further changes can be made.

How do I keep track of the process and see any changes in budget? When we start the process I will create a shared document to show progress and changes. This serves as a running receipt of changes and can include photos and video of the process. You can request email or text as a direct form of contact, but the shared document is always there to check in on.

When is the final payment due, and how does shipping work? Once you have approved the finished artwork, I will provide a final itemized invoice reflecting the original agreement and any additional work though our shared document. Unless previously discussed, the remaining balance must be paid before the artwork moves into production. Shipping and handling are calculated separately unless otherwise specified in your contract. We will discuss delivery options and confirm shipping costs before finalizing arrangements. Your artwork will typically be shipped within two weeks of final payment. Please note shipping can be between 10% and 20% of the price of the piece, depending on where the work is being shipped to. Currently, international shipping is not available.
