How much do commissions cost?

The cost of commissions are dependant on what the customer asks for. The things that are taken into consideration when calculating the final cost is the product medium (canvas, digital, wood etc), the level of detail & time, sizing of the artwork, products used etc.

There is a compulsory 30% deposit that customers must pay upon confirmation of booking for their commission piece.

What’s the turn around time for your order?

When you place an order, you should allow a 7-10 day turn around for prints, to allow time for your order to be processed, printed, packed and shipped.

Commission orders will vary. Once your order has been placed, confirmed and the deposit has been paid, I will give you an estimated timeframe for when you should expect your piece to be done. For larger or more intricate & fragile pieces, you should allow a 1 month turn around as these take much longer to create, plus standard shipping.

What inspires your artwork?

My inspirations can come from anything. My family and the stories that have been passed down to me allow for great creativity, getting to reminisce on memories and bring them to life through my art. The people, animals, environments and landscapes around me make me who I am, so all of those are usually taken into consideration when creating my art.

Commissioned pieces are brought to life by my customer’s stories they share with me. Learning about them and understanding what they want to represent and the stories they want me to portray helps me connect with them on a personal level, which in turn allows me to create a piece so special and close to them.
