COMMISSIONS
One of my great joys is working with people in a constructive manner. And certainly commissions are just that - a group effort to provide an organization or individuals with artwork that will enhance their environment and life experiences.
It’s been my pleasure to work with art consultants, gallery directors, corporate art advisors, and interior designers to help them and their clients achieve their goals and needs.
The majority of my art sales have come via commissioned work. In my particular case I make small studies almost daily, post them on Instagram and eventually my website for reference.
For a given project, often the client/team has seen my artwork and we can utilize the studies to make larger sized paintings to fit the prescribed needs of our project. If I don’t have exactly what is needed, I generate new studies given the parameters of the project.
My artwork is in major institutions and residences, most of these are painted on beautifully built birch cradled panels which after they are painted, sprayed overall with a satin polyurethane protective coating, particularly necessary for common spaces.
