Welcome to the gateway of creating your very own surrealistic story in art. Think of me as the magical translator of your life into paint, part artist, part storyteller, and maybe a little bit of wizard. My work is more than just painting; it’s about translating your unique story, your life, your achievements, your relationships, or your work, into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. This is your opportunity to bring an idea to life in a way that only original, handcrafted art can.

Why Commission a Painting with Me?

  • Each commissioned painting is a journey into your story. I don’t just create art; I weave the surreal with the personal to make something that is truly irreplaceable. A painting is not just an object; it’s a conversation piece, a legacy, and a reflection of you or the person it’s meant to honor.

  • I take 5-7 commissions a year, depending on the size and complexity of the projects. Each painting takes time to create because every detail is intentional, and the process itself is immersive and deeply reflective. By limiting the number of commissions, I ensure that each project aligns with my artistic vision and that I have the time to pour my energy and focus into it.

  • Applying for a commission is more than just a formality; it’s an opportunity to reflect on your story. The application process is designed to help you explore what makes your journey special and how it could be expressed in art. Even if your project doesn’t move forward, this process can offer valuable insights into your own narrative and its meaning.

Trust the Process (and the Painter!)

Commissioning a painting is a bit like boarding a flight: you help choose the destination, but once we take off, you have to trust the pilot (that’s me) to get us there smoothly.

We’ll collaborate on the concept, I’ll sketch out ideas, and you’ll have a chance to give feedback before I start painting. But once the brush hits the canvas, I take full creative control. Why? Because the best art isn’t created by committee, it needs room to breathe, evolve, and surprise us both.

So sit back, enjoy the journey, and trust that by the time we land, you’ll have a piece of art that’s exactly what it was meant to be: bold, beautiful, and uniquely yours. No unnecessary turbulence, just creativity at full speed!

Don’t just take my word for it

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with collectors who have trusted me to bring their stories to life. Their words capture the magic of the process better than I ever could.

The Application Process

I’ve created an application that’s part personality quiz, part creative brainstorm, and 100% fun. It’s my way of getting to know you, your story, and giving you the chance to articulate what truly matters to you. It’s not just a "yes" or "no" process, it’s more like speed dating for art (but without the awkward silences).

Why I Do It

Every commission is an adventure, a journey into someone else’s world. It’s both humbling and exhilarating to be trusted with someone’s story, to turn it into something they can hold onto and cherish.

In truth, my art has always been about stories, whether I’m creating a commission or working on a piece for myself. I’ve found that my creativity is deeply rooted in being receptive to the lives and experiences of others. Their stories inspire me, shape my perspective, and ultimately find their way into my work in ways that even surprise me sometimes. It’s through this openness, this willingness to listen and connect, that I’m able to translate the intangible into something visual.

When you look at the final painting, I want you to see more than just art. I want you to see your story, your triumphs, your struggles, your moments of beauty and joy reflected back at you. And perhaps, in doing so, you’ll also see the quiet ways your story connects to others, woven into something bigger than either of us could imagine.

This is why I create. This is why I listen. And this is why I’d love to hear your story.

A Final Note

Commissioning art is like embarking on a creative adventure. It’s about trust, storytelling, and creating something you’ll cherish forever. If you’re ready to get started, I can’t wait to hear from you and turn your story into a masterpiece… with a touch of whimsy, of course.
