Commission Terms & Process

Custom artwork and commissions are handled separately from shop orders.

  • All commissioned work follows the terms outlined in my Freelance/Commission Request Sheet.

  • Pricing, deposits, revisions, and timelines are discussed case-by-case via email, text, or phone.

  • Commissioned pieces are non-refundable, except in rare circumstances determined at my discretion.

Commission Terms & Process

Commissions are a collaborative process, created with care and in my unique artistic style.

Below is an overview of how commissions work, including pricing, payment, timelines, and expectations.

Pricing

Watercolor – $0.94 per square inch
Acrylic & Oil – $1.25 per square inch

Final pricing is based on the chosen size and medium.

Payments

A 50% deposit is required to begin your commission.
This deposit becomes non-refundable once proofs are approved and painting has begun.

Invoices may be paid via PayPal, Venmo, or another agreed-upon method.

Process & Timeline

Proofing (1–2 weeks):
You’ll receive rough sketches and color ideas for approval. Once approved, no major changes can be made.

Completion Time:

  • Watercolor & Acrylic: 4–8 weeks

  • Oil Paintings: 6–10 weeks (to allow for drying)

Progress updates are provided every 2 weeks, and I may feature work-in-progress images on social media unless otherwise requested.

Touch-Ups (Local Only)

Available to St. Louis area clients for minor adjustments or repairs.

  • $20/hour, up to $200 max
    Significant changes cannot be made after the piece is completed.

Framing & Shipping

Clients are responsible for framing. Recommendations are available upon request.

Shipping is billed separately and includes:

  • Tracking

  • Insurance up to $100

All works are packaged securely to ensure safe delivery.

Guidelines

To ensure the best result:

  • I stay true to my artistic style.

  • I do not emulate other artists’ styles, create detailed invented backgrounds, or work from copyrighted images without permission.

Sharing background details, color preferences, or meaningful elements helps guide the piece.

Rights & Usage

I retain rights to the artwork for:

  • Portfolio

  • Website galleries

  • Social media

  • Promotional use

I will never sell prints of your commissioned piece without your written permission.

Social Media

I love seeing where my art lives!
Feel free to tag me, share photos, or send images of the piece displayed in your home.
