Bring a Memory or Place to Life

Commissions are my favourite way to connect with collectors. Every painting is a unique story — a landscape, still life, or moment captured from Australia’s wild beauty or your cherished memory.

From the quiet bend of a river to the intimacy of a garden corner, each painting is a journey into colour, light, and emotion. Together, we’ll create a piece that is truly yours.

Why Commission Art

How It Works

An artist's workspace with paintbrushes, tubes of paint, and a palette with blue, black, and orange paint. There are jars of blue and yellow paint, a cup of coffee, a smartphone, and some rocks and a small canvas with a blue and white abstract painting on a wooden table.

A painting of flowers and a coffee cup on a checkered tablecloth. The painting is inside a wooden frame and is surrounded by plants, paint tubes, and art supplies.

Four landscape paintings, each depicting different outdoor scenes with fields, trees, and sky, arranged in a 2x2 grid.

Once your place is secured, I’ll be in touch with a short questionnaire.
Together we’ll clarify the feeling, imagery, colour palette, size, and overall direction of the work.
This stage is about intention — not perfection — and I’ll guide you if you’re unsure.

Step 1 - Secure Your Spot

Begin by reserving a place on my commission list.
A non refundable $350 deposit secures your spot and is deducted from the final price. This ensures I can give your painting the time and attention it needs.

Step 2 - Refine Your Idea

Reserve Your Commission Spot

Once the painting is complete, final payment is made and the artwork is carefully prepared for delivery or collection.
Your finished piece is ready to be lived with — a personal work shaped by place, memory, and feeling.

Step 3 - Creation in Progress

Your painting is created in my studio using layered brushwork and expressive colour.
I work intuitively within the agreed direction, allowing space for the painting to evolve naturally. Progress updates may be shared along the way.

Step 4 - Final payment and delivery

Commission Sizing and Pricing

I offer a limited number of commissioned paintings each year.

Each work is created through a thoughtful, collaborative process — guided by place, memory, and emotional tone rather than literal replication.

Commissioned works are priced by visual weight and presence, not strict centimetre maths. As this is bespoke, commission prices are always more than original artworks found in galleries on in my online shop.

“Thank you, he adores the painting, it brought a tear to his eye and some serious nostalgia. Such a special gift we will always treasure - Thank you for making it happen.”

— Sam (who commissioned a painting as a gift for her husband.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Timeframes vary depending on size and current bookings. Most commissions take 6–10 weeks from the start of painting. I’ll confirm an estimated timeframe when we begin.
After securing your spot, you’ll receive a short questionnaire. This helps clarify mood, colour preferences, size, and any reference imagery or memories you’d like me to consider. Choosing a reference image is a great place to start.
Yes — photographs, sketches, and video memories are all helpful starting points. The final painting is not a literal copy, but an expressive interpretation.
I work to an agreed direction and intention rather than seeking approval at each stage. This allows the painting to remain expressive and resolved. Minor refinements can be discussed if needed.
Small adjustments may be possible early on. Once the painting is underway, I trust the process and work intuitively within the agreed brief.
Yes. Commissioned works are priced slightly higher to reflect consultation time and bespoke creation.
