Landscape Art

For my detailed landscape paintings, I work well using a reference photo.  It might be one you took on a recent vacation, or your favourite view from a nearby hike or trail.  Wherever the location, I would be happy to see what you have!

​

I offer landscape paintings on watercolour paper (which will need to be framed), stretched canvas, or on panel wood.

Abstract Art

For a custom abstract painting, I typically have my client choose 1-2 paintings from my collection that they connect with.  Each painting is unique and original, and I don't produce two of the same piece, however, I use similar techniques to achieve the brushwork and flow you want in your piece.  More details below!

Step by step through a commission

This is an overview of what it's like to work with me on creating your very own custom piece of art!

I use professional quality acrylic paints on gallery wrapped canvas 1 1/2 " in depth.

The total timeline from start to finish is 8 to 10 weeks.

  1. We discuss your preferred; budget, canvas size, colour options, and details for your painting.

  2. Based on the above information I will provide you with a quote.

  3. Once I have a clear idea of colour palette, direction, and flow, I then provide you with a colour swatch.

  4. Upon your approval, we move forward with a 25 % deposit (non-refundable.)

  5. I place the custom canvas order, this will take 10-14 business days.

  6. We discuss any final details to ensure we are on the same page.

  7. Once canvas arrives, I begin painting.

  8. Once the painting feels complete, you get to see it for the first time and if necessary, discuss edits.

  9. Once the final painting is completed, and you're 100% pleased, the remaining balance is due. 

  10. We make arrangements for art pick-up, delivery, or shipping (additional cost.)

  11. You get to enjoy your new piece of art for years to come!

​

For mini and small scale art commissions (under 12 x 12 inches) prices are based on my rate of $60/hr.  Depending on the amount of detail, I typically request between 2-4 hours for small scale painting. Know what you are looking for, submit my form and lets connect.

​

For mid to large scale art (12 x 12 inches and up) my base pricing begins at $500 and goes up to $1500-$2500 and more.  These prices are based on my set canvas price list.

What size painting fits my wall?

Using the painter's tape method

​Marking your wall where you want to hang your painting is a great way to visually see if it's the right size for your wall. Here are a few tips to get you started:

​

  • Consider if people will be seated in front of the painting. If so, it's a good idea to take head space into account. Raise the tape up to a level above their heads. It helps to sit down on the seat to get a good idea of tape placement.

  • Is this wall going to receive lots of direct sunlight? If so, be aware that over time a painting can dull in colour.

  • Once you have considered the above, mark out the area you're envisioning with painter's tape.

  • Then, live with it for a day or two to determine if the size works for you and fits your space. Adjust until you have found a size that works.​ I am happy to support you through the process of figuring out the perfect size piece of art for your wall.
