Book a Consultation
Thank you so much for your interest in ordering a custom piece of art, the following is everything you need to know before you reach out:
Process
The process for ordering a custom piece of art from me is simple and congrats on already completing the first step, reaching out :)
Look over my process and pricing to make sure this is the right fit for you. If you haven’t already, please visit my website or instagram to get a good idea of my usual subjects and style. If everything looks good, fill out the booking form below or email me and I will reach out to you asap.
Now that we are in contact we will start by finding a timeline that works for the both of us. Next we can begin discussing in greater detail what you have in mind for the painting/drawing (subject, style, size) If you are ordering a portrait I will ask that you email me a reference photo at this point. Often times I will meet with clients via zoom for the initial consultation, this is not mandatory but It’s always nice to have a face and voice behind the emails!
Once we come to an agreement on the content, price, and timeline, I’ll send over an invoice. You are welcome to pay in full up-front or in smaller installments, however, I begin work only after a minimum of 50% of the final payment has been made (not including shipping).
This is the fun part… I start painting! I am active on social media which means I often share my process publicly. If you would prefer I keep the process private please let me know in advance so I can be sure to keep it hidden from the camera. I will reach out with timing updates every once in a while so you’ll have an idea of where I’m at, please specify if you would like me to send you progress photos directly, otherwise I will wait until the painting is finished/ready for approval to send you a photo.
Once I have completed the painting I will send over a photo. At this point you can let me know if there any minor changes you would like me to make. After three corrections, any additional changes will include a $25 fee. Examples of minor changes: eyes, mouth, nose, etc. too big/small, lightening or darkening image, adjusting colors, etc.
If everything looks great you can send over the remaining payment, if any. I will safely package your painting/drawing and ship it out. I post images of all my completed works on my website as well as my social accounts. Please let me know if you are not comfortable with this and I will make sure to keep it out of the public eye.
Reference Photo
When choosing your reference photo there are a few things to keep in mind:
High quality photos make for high quality paintings. Check to make sure your photo is clear, in focus, and the file size isn’t too small. Although I can and have accepted blurry reference photos, I strongly discourage them; It negatively impacts the amount of detail I can include in the final work as well as elongating and making the process more difficult all around.
Please make sure you own the rights to the photo you provide. I can not make a direct copy of a photographer’s work unless I have received explicit, clear, and written permission to do so and you are responsible for obtaining this permission.
I can combine multiple references, and actually prefer multiple! Often times I will switch out backgrounds, or use additional photos as comparison when painting a portrait to make sure it is as accurate as possible. Don’t be afraid to send me whatever you’ve got because it will only help my process (Just please keep it under 10 pictures please!)

If possible reach out 3-6+ months before your intended finish date. Creativity takes time (50-300+ hours to be precise) and there may be a waitlist!
