commission work

I am honored and grateful that you are here. Thank you for your trust and support of my artwork!

As I am more than likely holding multiple projects at once and often on longer-distance walking experiences, I can only take on 2-3 commission projects at a time. Please take a moment to fill out the form below sharing more about what you are looking for.

The process

I try to get back to all commission requests withing two weeks, but sometimes it takes longer. Please try to share as much as you can related to your vision for the piece in the submission. This really helps me discern if (A) this project is a good fit and (B) if I have the time and capacity for it. If it makes sense, I like to begin with a 30-minute phone or video call. From there, I will suggest a draft plan, budget, and timeline. Please be sure to browse the shop so you can get familiar with my style.

Preferred Projects:

- Personal pieces connected to your dreams, ideas, projects, and vision.

- Original artwork for your home, workplace, or creative space.

- Gifts for partners, family, neighbors, celebrations, or yourself.

- Illustrations for your journal, book, poetry, manual, etc.

- Ceremony/ritual pieces.

- Tattoo drawings. While I am not a tattoo artist, I can help to inspire tattoo drawings for your tattoo artist.

I highly recommend browsing the shop to get familiar with my style!

Things I won't be creating for commission at this time:

- Portraits

- Logos

- Anything too text heavy. I enjoy working with text, but have limits

on how much I like to include in the pieces.

- Anything too specific. I prefer to have PLENTY of creative freedom around your ideas and vision. If you already have an exact idea for what you want and you want it to look just like a certain photo, image in your head, etc., this is

more than likely not a fit. That said, I do like to work with photos, visuals, and personal sketches as inspiration/direction.
