Commission A Painting
You can ask for what you want.
Or you can tell me what you feel.
If you’ve seen something in my past work that you connect with - a colour palette, a certain energy, a composition that would look perfect in your space - you can absolutely commission something similar.
We’ll talk size, framing, general vibe. You’ll get a painting that feels like you, by me. It’s a simple, clear process.
But maybe that’s not what you’re here for.
Maybe you’re carrying something that doesn’t fit neatly into a reference image.
A moment you can’t explain.
A part of your story that you’re still trying to make sense of.
A celebration. A fracture. A quiet, persistent ache.
That’s what the reverse commission is for.
This Bit’s Yours…
It starts with you handing me whatever version of your story you’re ready to share - raw, messy, beautiful, complicated. No script. Just your words, your truth - and a bit of trust.
I don’t need a colour scheme. I don’t need a Pinterest board. I need you.
Then I paint. Using only my fingertips - no brushes, no barriers - I’ll translate what you’ve given me into texture, weight, movement and colour.
It won’t be literal.
But it will be honest.
The result? A painting that captures something real.
A piece of you, on canvas.
The Stuff You’ll Want to Know… but might be too scared to ask!
Commissions are deeply personal - for both of us. So, here's the practical stuff, upfront and easy:
Deposit: I take a 50% deposit before I order your canvas or get started. This confirms your spot and lets me begin.
Payment flexibility: Both the deposit and balance can be paid in instalments if that makes life easier. Just ask - I’m happy to work with you.
Delivery: I can arrange delivery anywhere in Australia. If you're in Melbourne, I often deliver personally (sometimes for a small fee… sometimes just because I’m heading that way). We’ll chat about what works best.
Balance due: Full payment is required before delivery or pickup is arranged.
Timelines: I’ll give you a timeframe before we begin, based on current commitments. If you have a date in mind (like a gift or milestone), let me know early.
No revisions: This is a co-created process built on trust, not approvals. I’ll ask questions, feel into your story, and paint from there - intuitively and emotionally. You’re not just commissioning a picture; you’re trusting me to bring something heartfelt to life.
And honestly, that's what it all comes down to - trust and communication.
We’ll talk. I’ll listen. You’ll get something that was made with your story in mind and my heart in my hands.
