Commissions
Are you considering a truly bespoke work of art?
Each year I accept a limited number of commissions to ensure every piece receives the depth of attention, reflection, and craftsmanship it deserves. Working this way allows me to honour both the process and the people entrusting me with their vision.
A commissioned artwork is a shared journey. Unlike acquiring an existing work, a commission invites you into the creative process. Together we refine scale, palette, mood, and underlying story. If you are interested in exploring a commission, please pop me a message through the link below and I’ll be in touch with a ‘no strings attached’ chat so we can both explore where your idea might lead.
How the Process
So you are interested but want to know more about how the Commission Process Works?
Initial Enquiry
Begin by reaching out via the form on this page with a brief outline of what you are seeking — including size, location, timeline, and any conceptual or colour preferences.
Discussion to define details
Next is having a chat to discuss your idea and requirements. This is where we discuss the theme or story, size, mood, key colours and location where the piece will eventually live. This step may include a bit of back and forth to allow us to come to an idea you feel excited about.
Proposal & Deposit
Following our discussion, I prepare a written proposal outlining concept direction, dimensions, key colours, timeframe, and investment.
A 40% deposit secures your place in my commission calendar and allows work to begin.
Creation
The artwork is developed in my Perth Hills studio using layered encaustic techniques. During this stage, I may share progress images where appropriate, while still allowing space for the organic evolution that is integral to working with wax and fire.
Completion & Delivery
Once complete, the final balance is due prior to collection or delivery
Timeframes
Commissions typically require 3–10 weeks depending on scale and complexity. Retreat periods and exhibition preparation may extend this timeline, so early enquiry is recommended.
Investment
Commission pricing reflects size, complexity, and materials. As a guide, works begin at $290 for a 30x30cm piece, on a cradle board (unframed) ready to hang. A detailed quote is provided after consultation.
