Commission Inquiry
Commissioning artwork can be a confusing or intimidating process, but it doesn’t have to be! Below is my typical process and questions you can exepect from me should you be interested in commissioning a custom piece of art.
How it Works:
I will start by asking what you are envisioning for your space. If you have a photo you would like me to reference, you can send this to me as well. Here are some other things to consider when we first begin.

Budget Range
Size and color preferences
After we chat about your preferences, I will provide a price and time estimate for completion. For reference, a 12”x12” piece ranges from about 6-8 weeks. Time estimates vary by size and can be a moving target, but I will communicate any changes on timing as I work. If you do have a hard deadline, please communicate that with me prior to starting the commission.
Deposit: Once we have an agreement, I will ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit to cover materials for your piece. I will also provide you with a commission agreement detailing the scope of the piece that protect both parties. Once the agreement is signed and deposit is paid, I can get started on your piece!
I do keep my clients updated throughout the process. I will typically sketch out an initial design in watercolor and translate this into encaustic. You’ll see photo updates as I go, and can provide feedback during those times.
If you are local to Denver, I can deliver within an hour drive to my home studio, or you have the option to pick up. I can also ship within the continental United States. If choosing shipping, the client will be responsible for shipping costs. The piece will arrive in an insulated box to protect it from heat and cold.
