We’ll begin with a conversation and short questionnaire to understand what you’d like the piece to express. You’re welcome to share colors, stories, or where you plan to display it. Together we’ll look at a few paintings from my portfolio that resonate with you, then I’ll suggest a palette and prepare a sketch or mockup for approval. This stage clarifies tone, size, and direction so we can move forward with a shared sense of purpose.

I build the work in layers, starting with acrylic and mixed media to establish rhythm, light, and mood. Collage, metal leaf, or texture may be added if they enhance the story. Once the foundation feels right, I develop key forms and details in oil, bringing depth and gentle luminosity. You’ll receive photos as I transition from acrylic to oil and as the painting nears completion, offering a glimpse into how the surface evolves before its final refinement.

When the painting is complete, I’ll share final images for your records. After the balance is received, your artwork is carefully packed and shipped. Commissions are delivered as gallery-wrapped canvases, ready to hang, but custom framing can be arranged for an additional cost agreed in advance or before delivery. We’ll confirm style and finish so the piece arrives complete, protected, and tailored to your space — a work created to be treasured for years to come.
