ABOUT COMMISSIONS

Handmade, one-of-a-kind work. Never a print.

I take on a limited number of commissions each season so every piece receives my full attention. Commissions are ideal for meaningful gifts, home centerpieces, or capturing a place or person that matters to you.

All commissions are original, one-of-a-kind works painted in acrylic or oil on canvas, or rendered in watercolor or charcoal on archival paper. Never a print.
