Commissioning a work of art
A commission provides you with the opportunity to have a customized work of art. You are part of the creative process. Working together we create something that fits your specific needs and preferences, how exciting is that!
Like me, you are probably a lover of the sea. You appreciate its power and are seduced and soothed by it's beauty and mystery. Perhaps you want to hold on to that feeling and bring it into your home.
It may be that you are looking for a piece to fit a specific location in your personal space, or office. It may be a gift to celebrate a special occasion, a wedding, an anniversary, or birthday. You may be looking for something that reminds you of a feeling or a specific place that is dear to you, something that is meaningful and brings an experience to life. Whatever your motivation, a commissioned original work of art is something that is long lasting and personal, that can be passed down in your family to enjoy and appreciate for generations.
I want you to feel comfortable and confident that I will create something you will be thrilled with. So I take great care to discuss each project in detail to make sure I understand your needs.
Costs for a commission are in line with pricing for my non-commission work which ranges from $300-$10,000. Nothing is too large or too small, so please don't be afraid to ask!

What clients are saying
Annie, I can’t thank you enough for making sure the painting arrived in time for us to display it at our party. The painting is fantastic!, and has turned out to be a wonderful early anniversary surprise. It also looks beautiful next to your crashing wave print. It was such a pleasure to work with you.
Many thanks. - Steve, Laguna Beach CA
Many thanks. - Steve, Laguna Beach CA
Thank you for guiding me through the process and meeting my space and budget requirements. I’ve never commissioned a painting before, so it’s a new experience for me. Thank you too for adding that small glimmer of pink in the sky. As tribute to my father, this represents a memory of my childhood spent at the shore and you did it! I love it. It is beautiful. It will hang in our bedroom, so I will see it every day, I can’t wait to welcome it to our home! - Kristen, San Francisco, CA
I fell in love with Annie’s paintings the moment I viewed them at a gallery because she captures the colors and spirit of the ocean in a way that uniquely draws you in. My husband and I recently commissioned Annie to create such a painting for our home and she was a pleasure to work with. Annie listened carefully to what our preferences were regarding the image we hoped she would capture, reviewing together a number of her prior works. She quickly created a study of what the final painting would look like; tweaked it after our conversations; and subsequently created a beautiful canvas for us that we will treasure. - Pamela, Bristol, RI
"We received our Wave painting !, It is a truly fantastic painting and gives us both great happiness and peace. Annie, you have the gift to bring the beauty of the ocean and the world around it into our homes. - Thanks from a happy couple."
The Details
Timeframe - Almost in a Jjffy !
Commissions usually take 6-8 weeks to complete after the initial consultation and deposit. But, if you have a specific deadline let me know, I'll do my best to accommodate your timeline.
Consultation - Let's chat
In our initial consultation we will flesh out the creative brief by discussing your specific needs including size, composition, color palette, and budget. This will involve you identifying 3-4 of my paintings or sharing reference images, that have a feel for what you are looking for.
Deposit - Seal the deal
I will send you an invoice and commission agreement outlining the creative brief and request a 30- 50% deposit to begin.
Process - Let the creative juices flow
I work from the agreed creative brief and will share a progress image with you, at a stage when some tweaks to certain elements of the painting are possible.
Happy Clients - I always try my best
Once the painting is finished you will have an opportunity to approve it. Please bare in mind however, that I work in quite a fluid and gestural way to capture the movement of the subject matter, so only minor edits may be possible. That said, I want you to be happy so I do my best to present you with a painting that you love.
Final Payment - Happy artist
Upon approval, the remaining 50% payment will be due before delivery.
Framing - Finshing touches
Commissions are unframed. Framing is a personal choice and isn't always necessary. But I am happy to supply a floater frame (white, black or antique silver leaf) for an additional cost.
Shipping - It's on it's way
Once final payment has been received, the painting will be packed, insured and shipped by UPS or freight depending on size or can be collected in person if you live locally. Shipping costs will be billed and invoiced separately.
Care Package - Because I care
Along with your painting you will receive a package containing: a certificate of authenticity, invoice, care instructions, artists bio, resume and exhibition history, and complimentary notecards.
