What to Expect After Submitting Your Commission Request
Thank you so much for your interest in commissioning a piece. I’m honored to co-create something meaningful with you. Here’s what happens next:
📝 Submission Review
Once you submit your request, I’ll review your vision, references, and preferences with care. If it feels like the right fit, I’ll reach out within 3–5 business days (and no later than a week) to confirm details and next steps. If I accept the commission, I’ll send an invoice for a 50% non-refundable retainer, which secures your spot and allows me to begin the creative process.
🖌️ Creative Process & Mockup
After reviewing your subject and color preferences, I’ll design an abstract background that reflects the energy of your request. Before painting begins, I’ll send you a mockup to review and approve.
🔄 Revisions
You’ll receive up to 3 revisions during the mockup stage at no additional cost. If more are needed, they’ll be billed at $100 per revision.
🎨 Timeline
Most commissions take about 6–8 weeks to complete, depending on the size and complexity. If you have a specific deadline in mind, let me know early and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
🎭 Artistic Style
Please keep in mind that my work blends abstract realism with emotion and intuition. For portraits or pets, I paint in my own expressive style—not as an exact replica, but as a soulful interpretation of your subject’s energy.
✨ Thank you again for trusting me with your vision. I can’t wait to create something meaningful, layered, and full of heart just for you.
💬 Commission FAQ
How do I know if you’ll accept my request?
I carefully review each submission to make sure it aligns with my artistic style and current availability. If I feel it's a good fit, I’ll reach out within 3–5 business days to move forward.
What’s the retainer for, and is it refundable?
The 50% retainer secures your spot in my schedule and covers the planning and design phase. It is non-refundable, as time and materials go into the early stages of the creative process.
Can I make changes after I see the mockup?
Yes! You’ll receive up to 3 free revisions during the mockup stage. Additional revisions are welcome and billed at $100 each.
How long will it take to complete my painting?
Most pieces are completed in 6–8 weeks, depending on size and complexity. If you have a specific date in mind, let me know and I’ll do my best to work with your timeline.
What if I want a portrait? Will it look exactly like the photo?
Not exactly—I paint in a style that blends abstract realism with emotional expression. My goal is to capture the feeling, essence, and spirit of your subject—not to recreate a photograph.
Do you ship artwork?
Yes! I offer delivery within 15 miles of Marietta, GA and shipping options for collectors outside that area.
