This page serves as a guide to my commission process, including what you can expect, how we’ll collaborate, pricing, and the kind of artwork I can create for you. Whether you’re a collector, an interior designer, or simply someone who wants a meaningful piece of art, I’m excited to bring your vision to life.
What I Offer
I specialize in:
- Digital Art Compositions – Using my original nature photography as a foundation, I craft digital artworks that blend realism with creativity. This can range from subtly enhanced natural scenes to more abstract, expressive pieces.
- Personalized Artwork for Special Occasions – If you have a meaningful location, a cherished memory, or a concept you’d love to see realized, I can create a piece that brings that vision to life. This is perfect for anniversaries, gifts, or simply adding a touch of personalized beauty to your space.
How the Commission Process Works
Commissioning a custom artwork should be an enjoyable and collaborative experience. Below is an overview of how I work with clients to bring their vision to life.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Every project begins with a conversation. You’ll share your ideas, preferences, and goals for the piece. This can include:
- The type of artwork you’re interested in
- Specific subjects, locations, or moods you’d like to capture
- Preferred color schemes, dimensions, or framing options
- Any inspirations or reference images you have in mind
During this phase, we’ll also discuss timeline expectations and pricing estimates.
Step 2: Proposal & Agreement
Once I have a clear understanding of your request, I’ll outline the scope of the project, including:
- A summary of the work to be done
- Estimated timeline for completion
- The pricing structure and payment terms
- Any additional considerations (such as printing and delivery options)
At this stage, a deposit (typically 50% of the total fee) is required to secure your commission. This ensures that I can dedicate the necessary time and resources to your piece.
Step 3: Creation Process
Once we have an agreement in place, I’ll begin working on your commission. Depending on the complexity of the piece, this process may include:
- Traveling to a specific location to capture the right photograph
- Editing and enhancing images to achieve the desired effect
- Combining multiple elements into a cohesive digital composition
- Providing progress updates and previews along the way
You’ll have opportunities to provide feedback during key stages of the project. My goal is to ensure you are thrilled with the final result.
Step 4: Final Approval & Delivery
Once the artwork is complete, I will send you a final proof for approval. Minor revisions can be made if necessary. After approval, I’ll process the final payment and prepare your piece for delivery.
For digital artworks, you will receive a high-resolution file suitable for printing. If you choose a printed format, I can arrange professional printing on high-quality paper, canvas, or metal. Shipping options will be discussed based on your location.
Pricing Structure
Pricing for commissioned work varies based on the scope, complexity, and specific requirements of the piece. Below is a general guideline:

- Basic enhancements and edits: $200 – $500
- Complex, layered compositions: $600 – $1,500
Special Occasion Artworks

Why Commission a Custom Artwork?
There’s something profoundly special about owning an original piece of art that speaks directly to your vision and experiences. A commission allows you to:
- Own a one-of-a-kind creation – No one else will have the exact same piece.
- Celebrate a personal connection to nature – Whether it’s a favorite hiking trail, a place of meditation, or an unforgettable travel experience, I can bring that memory to life.
- Support independent artistry – By commissioning work, you’re directly supporting an artist dedicated to capturing the beauty of the natural world.
- Create a meaningful gift – A custom artwork makes an exceptional and thoughtful present for someone special.
