Why commission an artwork?
Commissioning an artwork allows you to get involved in the artistic process, making it a rewarding experience. This personal involvement instils the work with authenticity, intimacy and personal meaning. Having an original piece of art made exclusively for you is worth the investment, simply because it is a one off piece of art.
How does the commission work?
The artwork commission involves a short brief and one or more visits to your space (whenever possible) to make sure all details have been taken to account, including advice on size, frame type and finish, style of the artwork that matches your home interior as well as lighting consideration. I will then work with you to create an individual, personalised artwork for your home or office, or as a gift. Each artwork comes in custom size and is created to fit your space.
The production of the artwork and the waiting period can vary depending on the work and production complexity, starting with 4 weeks. All artworks are then securely delivered, ready to hang.
