Commissions

An original, one-of-a-kind new painting, made for your space — abstract or landscape, at the size your wall needs.

Inquire about a commission

We are happy to do custom orders. Please get in touch with any special request.

A commissioned painting is not a reproduction of any original. It is an original, one-of-a-kind new painting. That means a new painting will always be slightly different in shapes and hues — never identical, especially in abstract expressionist work. Every painting is one of a kind.

If you are interested in a commission or in framing, I will provide options and pricing. Processing time for custom orders is normally 4–8 weeks.

Commissions can be large: one past commission, a painting of the Channel Islands, measured 37 × 103 inches. Read about it in the studio journal.
