Commission Work
Commission a Custom Painting | Denver Artist
I'm currently accepting a limited number of commissioned paintings — original artwork created specifically for your space, told through your story.
Every commission starts with a conversation, not a blank canvas. I'm not just matching a couch or filling a wall — I'm listening for what the piece needs to say. In our initial consultation, we'll talk through where the piece will live, the size that makes sense for the space, and the palette you're drawn to. I'll also ask about your favorites — pieces of mine you've connected with, or other work that's caught your eye — because that tells me more about your story than a mood board ever could. From there, I compile everything into a creative directive that guides the entire process.
Using that storytelling directive, I create three original pieces in parallel from which to choose, each built within your guidelines but uniquely their own, shaped by my own instincts as a painter. Once they're roughly 75–80% complete, I invite you into my studio for the reveal for you to pick your favorite one that we complete.
I do this in person, always. Photos can't capture what a painting actually does in a room — the depth, the texture, the way it shifts with the light, the pull you feel standing in front of it. That connection is the whole point of commissioning original art instead of buying a print, and it only happens face to face.
At the studio visit, you'll choose the piece that resonates most, and I'll bring it to completion — refined, finished, and ready to tell your story in your space.
The Commission Process:
Consultation — We discuss placement, size, palette, and the story or inspiration behind the piece. I compile this into a creative directive.
Creation — I paint three original pieces based on your directive, you pick your favorite.
Studio Reveal — At roughly 75–80% completion, you visit my Denver studio in person to see all three and choose your favorite.
Completion — I finish your selected piece to completion.
Framing & Delivery — We discuss framing options and coordinate pickup or delivery.
The full process typically takes up to 90 days from consultation to delivery.
Commissioning original art is a personal investment — in your space, and in a piece that's made for no one else. I want every client to walk away with a painting that doesn't just match their room, but tells their story.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the commission process work?
It starts with a consultation about your space, size, palette, and inspiration. I create three original paintings based on that conversation from which to choose, then invite you to my Denver studio to see all three in person at roughly 75–80% completion. You choose your favorite, and I finish it for your space.
How long does a commissioned painting take?
The full process typically takes up to 90 days, from our initial consultation to final delivery.
Why do I choose my painting in person instead of over email or photos?
Photos can't capture what a painting does in a room — the depth, texture, and connection you feel standing in front of it. I want you to choose the piece that actually moves you, not just the one that photographs well.
Do I get to choose between multiple paintings?
Yes. I create three original pieces based on your consultation, and you'll choose the one that resonates most with you during your studio visit.
What information do you need to start a commission?
I'll ask about where the piece will live, your preferred size and palette, and any pieces — mine or others' — that you've connected with. That gives me what I need to build a creative directive for your piece.
Do you offer framing?
Yes, we can discuss framing options any time during the process of your commission. The color options include natural wood frame, black, gold or white.
How much does a commissioned painting cost?
My current commission rates are height x width x $1.5. This rate does not include taxes, shipping, framing or delivery.
Do you ship commissioned paintings?
Yes. Shipping is not included in the pricing above. I offer white glove delivery within the Denver Metro area for $200, $350 anywhere else within 3 hours of Denver. Pick up at my studio by appointment is always free.
Where are you located?
I work out of my studio at Prism Workspaces in Denver, Colorado, inside the collaborative artist warehouse.
