Commission Pricing
When it comes to commissions, I work in a lot of different mediums, with many different subjects. I have been doing client work for 4 years now. Realism is my specialty, so I mainly do people portraits, pet portraits, landscapes, and still life paintings. These are just starting points though. I am also open to creative and complex commissions after consulting. Please feel free to reach out to me with any project you have in mind.
This is one of the most rewarding parts of my career. I love being able to commemorate a special subject or moment into a piece of art that will be treasured forever. If you would like a custom painting from me, I would be honoured to be your artist!

Please Note: I do not have a commission example for this category. Something that would fit into this category would be a painting of a family member in front of their home, a painting of a scene from your wedding, etc.
Creative Commissions
This category is for any piece that is not a “portrait”. If you are looking for a landscape painting or an imaginative piece (ex: a dragon) I would consider these creative commissions. Since this is a very broad category and the options are endless, I do not have a price list. Contact me with your idea (if it does not fit into any of the above categories) and we can work out the medium, size, and price based on the complexity.
