Create a Painting That Lives With You
As a contemporary abstract painter, my work begins with color, movement, and intuition. A commission is a way to create something that feels deeply connected to your space and the atmosphere you want to live with every day.
Some pieces bring a quiet sense of calm. Others carry more energy and movement. Each painting evolves through layers until it finds its natural balance.
Rather than recreating something exact, a commission allows us to create something that feels right, both visually and emotionally, for where it will live.
Commissions often begin with a space, a palette, or simply a feeling someone wants to live with.
Some collectors come with a clear vision. Others are drawn to the work and trust the process to unfold. Both approaches lead to something personal and considered.
A commissioned painting can be:
A large-scale piece that anchors a room
A color-driven work that connects with your interior
A softer, more atmospheric composition for quiet spaces
A companion piece that brings balance to a larger wall
Each painting is built through layers of color and mark-making, allowing the composition to evolve naturally over time.
What a Commission Can Be
Every commission begins with a conversation. You can share as much or as little direction as you’d like, whether that’s a specific size, a palette, or simply a feeling you want the painting to hold.
From there, we define the overall direction together. I consider the scale of your space, the colors surrounding it, and the kind of presence you want the piece to have.
Once the painting begins, it develops in layers. I’ll share a few moments along the way so you can feel connected to the process, while still allowing the work to unfold naturally.
When the painting reaches its balance, I complete the final details, sign the piece, and prepare it for delivery.
The Process
Commissioned abstract paintings are priced based on size and complexity.
Here are a few common sizes:
36 x 36 — $2,600
48 x 48 — $4,600
48 x 60 — $5,800
60 x 60 — $7,200
Custom sizes are always welcome. I’m happy to help guide scale based on your space and how you want the painting to live within it.
Commission Pricing
To begin, it helps to have a sense of where the painting will live.
A photo of the space, along with approximate wall dimensions, gives me a starting point for scale and proportion. If you have a general size in mind, that’s helpful too.
You’re welcome to share color direction or tones you’re drawn to, but if you prefer to leave that open, I’m comfortable working intuitively within your space.
Most importantly, a few words about how you want the painting to feel. Calm, energetic, layered, soft. That emotional direction often becomes the foundation for the piece.
If you’re unsure about any of this, we’ll figure it out together.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Each painting is created through an intuitive, layered process. While we can align on palette and overall direction, every piece develops in its own way.

Yes. I can work within a general palette to complement your space while still allowing the painting to feel natural and balanced.
How long does a commission take?
Most commissions take 6–10 weeks, depending on size and current schedule.
Will I see the painting while it’s in progress?
I share a few moments along the way so you can feel connected, while still allowing the work to evolve naturally.
