COMMISSIONING A PIECE OF ORIGINAL ARTWORK or PET PORTRAIT
A Visual Journey
Bring a piece of your heart to life through a custom painting. Whether it’s a soulful pet portrait or a nature-inspired piece, here’s exactly what to expect on the journey to your one-of-a-kind artwork:

Step 1: Imagine the Possibilities
Explore your vision
Start by dreaming. What do you want to see on your wall? A beloved pet, a meaningful landscape, or something abstract and emotional? Think about size, colours, and the feeling you want the piece to evoke.
Step 2: Reach Out and Connect
Let’s start the conversation
Send me a message through my website, email, or Instagram. Share your idea—whether it's fully formed or just a feeling. I'm here to guide and help shape your vision.

Step 3: Share Your Inspirations
Gather reference images and meaning
For pet portraits, I’ll need clear photos that show their personality. For other pieces, you might share colours, textures, memories, or places that inspire you. This is where your story begins to take shape.
Step 4: The Creative Proposal
Review the plan
I’ll send a proposal outlining the artwork size, materials, pricing, timeframe, and concept. You’ll have time to review and request changes. Once you’re happy, a 50% deposit secures your spot.

Step 5: Your Story Comes to Life
Painting begins
With everything aligned, I begin the creation. I can share progress updates if you wish. Every brushstroke is intentional, capturing the emotion and energy of your vision.
Step 6: Final Reveal & Delivery
Unveil your one-of-a-kind piece.
When your artwork is complete, I’ll send final images for your approval. Once the balance is paid, it’s carefully packaged and shipped to your door. Local delivery or in-person pickup may be available too. You’ll also receive a handwritten note and certificate of authenticity.


Step 7: Celebrate the Connection
Enjoy and share.
Whether it brings tears, smiles, or quiet reflection, your artwork is now a living part of your space. I’d love to see where it finds its home—feel free to tag me or send photos. Every piece I create is part of a larger story of connection, and you’re now part of that too.
