Commissions with heart and soul

My life as an artist started with gifting artworks to my friends and family. It wasn't long before I was commissioned to do artworks for everyone else's friends and family and then people from all over Australia! 
​
Each commission I do is treated with the utmost care. Most commissions I do are gifts for upcoming events, so I'm used to working towards a deadline and I can usually start immediately.
I work quickly and accurately with careful attention to detail.
​I approach each one as if I am creating it for my own loved ones, so I aim to achieve more than just a likeness - I aim to capture the soul of the subject such that the artwork takes on a life of its own. I don't consider a piece complete unless I'm 100% happy with it, and more importantly, you are 100% happy with it! 

Paps. 2020. 24x36in. Oil and acrylic on canvas.

i  make  the  impossible  -  possible!

• I originally trained to be a concept artist and loved to design fantastical characters and scenery. Since becoming a full-time artist, I've been able to translate my skills to my personal work and commissions and can combine several photos into one carefully composed, realistic and cohesive image.
• Some of my clients request photos of deceased loved ones to be posed with other family members as well as outfit changes.
• Others request more fantastical portraits inspired by my own self-portraits. 
• I can edit your photo/s in Photoshop if it needs any correcting, or merge different photos together for an additional fee. It will take more time though, depending on complexity.

The proof is in the pudding! Or should I say, painting!
​Click below to see the price lists and examples of the drawings and paintings that were commissioned for a variety of reasons:
​Birthday, Christmas, Anniversary, Graduation, Wedding, to preserve the memory of a loved one who has passed away, or just because...

• Check the price lists for drawings and paintings before ordering a commission.
• Remember - the higher quality the photo, the more detailed your artwork will be​! Multiple photos are also really helpful!

Time to complete: 
Drawings

• 4"x6", 6"x8" : 1 week
• A4 : 1-2 weeks
• A3 : 2-4 weeks

Paintings ​(plus 2 days drying time and varnishing for acrylics; plus 1-2 weeks drying time and 1 week for varnish to cure for oils)

• 8x10in, 8x12in : 1-2 weeks
• 16x20in, 18x24in : 2-4 weeks
• 24x36in : 3-5 weeks

Express shipping within Australia is 1-5 business days.
​
​The more projects I currently have, the more time it will take to complete each one.

The process:

• Provide as many photos as you can of the subject/s - they're very helpful!
• If you'd like me to make changes/additions to the image, I can provide photo editing in Photoshop for an additional fee and send the image to you for approval before starting the final artwork.
  • Simple: $30 (e.g. adding another figure, changing an outfit, changing a background, etc)
  • Complex: $80 (combining several photos/figures together, changing complex backgrounds and adding details, etc.)
• A 50% deposit is required for all commissions prior to starting - payable via direct bank transfer or a PayPal invoice (+ transaction fee) or credit card - I will create a listing on my website (+ transaction fee)
• ​​A Holiday Surcharge of 20% now applies from November to December. It's my busiest time of year and I work longer hours to meet strict deadlines before Christmas. But it means you get your gifts on time! :)
• Once I have completed your artwork, I will email a photo through for your approval or any last minute changes.
• I spray all drawings with fixative to prevent the graphite or charcoal from rubbing off.
• I varnish all paintings with a gloss varnish.

Payment and shipping:

• I will provide an invoice for the remaining amount, which can be paid through a direct bank transfer or a PayPal invoice (+ transaction fee) or I will create a listing on my website (+ transaction fee).
• For International customers: You can pay via PayPal or credit card (I will create a listing on my website for you to purchase). For paintings 16x20in and larger, I use courier shipping through UPS, which is roughly $100-300 depending on the size and your location. It is faster (a few days) and roughly the same amount as Express Shipping through Australia Post.
• Once payment has been received, I will pack and ship your artwork through Australia Post and provide you with the tracking number. Please let me know if you require signature on delivery.
• Shipping information can be found here.
• Free pick up is also available from me in the lower Blue Mountains.
