Commission Process
Welcome to Custom Commissions
I absolutely love creating custom artwork and bringing a client's ideas to life. Whether you're drawn to Australian wildlife, coastal scenes, beautiful botanicals or something completely unique, I'd love to work with you to create an original piece especially for your home.
If you've seen one of my previous artworks that you love, we can also use this as inspiration for your commission while creating something individual and unique to you.
How It Works
1. Get in touch
Send me an email with your ideas, preferred size and the type of artwork you have in mind. Inspiration photos or examples of my previous work that you love are always welcome.
2. Let's chat about your ideas
We'll discuss the subject, colours, size and overall feel you'd like for your artwork. Don't worry if you don't have everything worked out — I'm happy to help develop the concept with you.
3. Quote & confirmation
Once we have an idea of what you'd like, I'll provide a quote based on the size and complexity of your artwork. A deposit is required to confirm your commission and secure your place in my schedule.
4. Creating your artwork
This is where the fun begins! I'll start bringing your ideas to life and will keep you updated as your artwork develops.
5. Completion & delivery
Once your artwork is complete and the final balance has been paid, it will be carefully packaged and shipped to you with tracking.
What Can I Create?
I work primarily in acrylic on canvas, creating colourful original artwork inspired by nature and the Australian landscape.
Some of my most popular commission subjects include:
- Australian wildlife and native birds
- Coastal and ocean scenes
- Native botanicals and florals
- Country and landscape scenes
- Abstract and expressionistic pieces
- Something completely unique to you
I create everything from smaller pieces through to large statement artworks, so please feel free to get in touch if you have a particular space or size in mind.
Can I Commission Something Similar to a Sold Artwork?
Absolutely. My sold artwork gallery is a wonderful place to find inspiration for your own commission.
While I don't reproduce an original artwork exactly, we can take inspiration from the elements you love — perhaps the colour palette, wildlife, flowers, composition or overall feel — and use these to create a new and original artwork especially for you.
Browse my Sold Artwork Gallery for inspiration.
Timing
Turnaround times vary depending on the size and complexity of your artwork and my current commission schedule.
When we discuss your commission, I'll give you an estimated timeframe and keep you updated as your artwork progresses.
If you require your artwork for a particular date, please let me know when you enquire and I'll let you know what's possible.
Pricing & Deposit
Every commission is individually quoted based on the:
- Size of the artwork
- Subject and complexity
- Level of detail required
- Optional framing requirements
A deposit is required before I begin your artwork, with the remaining balance payable once your piece is completed and prior to shipping.
Framing
My canvas artworks are supplied ready to hang and can be displayed beautifully either framed or unframed.
If you would prefer your artwork framed, I can also arrange a Tasmanian Oak floating frame. Framing is quoted separately according to the size of your artwork.
Shipping
I ship commissioned artwork Australia-wide. Your artwork will be carefully packaged to protect it during transport and sent with tracking.
Shipping costs vary depending on the size of the artwork and its destination and will be discussed as part of your quote.
