bespoke oil commissions & Live events

Thank you for your interest in commissioning a custom oil painting. Bringing a highly personal, heirloom painting into your home is a deeply collaborative process, and a connection I especially enjoy.

Following a rewarding season of international exhibitions and institutional residencies, I only accept a limited number of custom studio commissions and live event dates each quarter. Please use the quote button at the bottom of the page to secure your commission slot.

Artistic Direction & Subject approval

To ensure the artistic integrity and museum-grade quality of every piece that leaves the studio, all projects are subject to a formal selection process.

I currently accept commissions for the following categories:

• Classic Figurative & Human Portraiture: Striking, light-filled representations of individuals, families, or couples. This includes fantasy or surreal themes.
• High-End Fine Art Pet Portraiture: Custom animal portraits executed with the exact same painterly depth, classical technique, and historical weight as our human subjects. Casual snapshots or miniature novelty sizes are not accepted.
• Live Event & Wedding Painting: Capturing the momentous occasion by painting LIVE on day of your celebration, and finishing the canvas in-studio to a masterwork finish.

Reference Photography (For Studio Work):
The success of an oil portrait relies entirely on what I can see: lighting, form, and composition. When working from a photo reference, I work strictly from professional photography, high-resolution portrait sessions, or high-end reference images with dynamic lighting. 

Low-resolution, flatly lit cellphone snapshots cannot be accepted as primary references.

Investment & Travel Logistics

Commissions are priced structurally using multipliers that accounts for the intensive, multi-layered nature of traditional oil painting.

• Studio Commission Minimum: $1,500 USD
• Initial Planning Deposit: A 50% non-refundable deposit is required upon concept approval to secure your position on the studio calendar. The remaining balance is due upon completion.
• Global Travel & Destination Commissions: I am available to travel worldwide for live wedding painting, on-site portrait sittings, and reference consultations. All travel expenses— including round-trip airfare, lodging, and secure transport of materials — are billed directly to the client.
