commissions : the ultimate vip seating

Let's face it-there's very little we actually control in this world. But you can customize your walls! In a world defined by transitions, a commissioned work is a way to celebrate the 'presence' of what matters most to you.

How does it work?

The Connection

You send this form; I read it and smile.

The Architecture

We’ll chat via email or a phone call to nail down the price and the plan.

The Deposit

A 50% deposit secures a spot on my easel.

The Stillness

I paint, you get updates, and eventually, the big feelings arrive at your door.

your questions, answered

  • Fill out the form above as best you can to get the conversation going. Once we have discussed the details, I will send over a rough sketch and a color palette. When you are ready to put your trust in me, I will get to work. I’ll send you a couple of progress updates along the way, or if you prefer to throw caution to the wind I will keep the great secrets of life to myself until you are ready for them to be revealed to you.

  • Generally, the journey from "vision" to "varnish" takes about 6–10 weeks. Art, much like personal growth, cannot be rushed—but I’ll keep you updated with progress photos so you aren't left sitting in the dark.If you have a specific date in mind (like a birthday or an anniversary), let me know early and I’ll see if I can save you a seat on the schedule.

  • You don't need a formal brief. A photo of a space that moves you, a description of a "big feeling," or even just a favorite color palette is enough to get us started. If there's a specific chair or object, animal, or person that holds a story for you, I’d love to see it. Please upload any inspirational reference photos via the link above.

  • Can you really put a price on invaluable customized art? Yes. Yes, you can. Pricing depends on the size and materials of your unique piece. Framing also plays a large role in the final cost. Here is a breakdown so you can have a fun time doing some basic mathematics. 

    Works on Paper = $1.50 per square inch 

    Works On Canvas = $3.00 per square inch

    Works on Canvas and Framed = $4.00 per square inch

    Works on Wood Panel = $4.00 per square inch

    Works on Wood Panel and Framed = $5.00 per square inch

    Once we have our initial chat, I’ll give you a clear quote so there are no surprises that make you question reality. I ask for a 50% deposit to get the brushes moving.

  • Absolutely. See the above price list and choose what's best for you.

  • Yes! They say "wherever you go, there you are” and your art should be there with you. Whether you’re across the street or across an ocean, I’ll make sure your painting is packed with enough care to survive the journey. Shipping costs are calculated once we nail down the size of your painting, but the emotional resonance is free. Are you a neighbor? If you’re here in Albuquerque, we can skip the shipping box and the absurdity of tracking numbers. I’m happy to coordinate a studio pickup or a hand-off—just let me know you're local when you reach out.

If you’re sitting staring into the void, you might as well have something beautiful to look at.
