Commissions

Create Something Wonderfully Yours

Nature has a playful side, and I love bringing that joy into custom artwork. If you’ve been dreaming about a painting with a favorite critter, a memory from the desert, or something whimsical and full of heart, I’d be honored to create it with you. A commission is our chance to take your story, your idea, your inspiration — and turn it into a one-of-a-kind painting that feels like you

What I Love to Paint

My work celebrates the personality and spirit of the natural world. Commissions are especially welcome for:

  • Quirky, expressive animals full of charm

  • Owls and birds with big presence

  • Arizona landscapes, blooms, and desert moments

  • Wildlife stories with heart

  • Personal memories inspired by nature

If your idea brings a smile, carries a story, or captures a moment of wonder — I’m in.

How the Commission Process Works

Step 1 — Share Your Idea

Send an email to the link below and tell me what you have in mind: subject, size, timeline, and anything special you’d like included.

Step 2 — We Chat Details

Together we’ll talk through size options, color palettes, reference photos, and the overall feeling or story behind the piece.

Step 3 — Deposit & Placement

A 50% deposit reserves your spot on my schedule. Once confirmed, I’ll prepare a simple sketch or digital mockup for your approval.

Step 4 — Painting Begins

You’ll receive updates at key milestones so you can see the painting come to life — just enough to keep you involved, not overwhelmed.

Step 5 — Final Review & Delivery

Once approved, I add finishing touches, seal the piece, sign it, and prepare it for delivery. Shipping and local pickup are both available.
