Commissions
Made for a particular light.
Collector works, site-specific panels, and architectural commissions begin with the room: its scale, its palette, and the light it keeps.

The process
Clear checkpoints. Unhurried making.
Collaboration is concentrated before painting begins, then returns at the moments when a meaningful decision is still possible.
Conversation
Share the room, rough dimensions, references, timing, and the atmosphere the finished work should keep.
Direction
The brief becomes a composition, palette, material direction, scale recommendation, timeline, and quote.
Making
After approval and deposit, the work is painted in reverse by hand. Progress is shared at deliberate checkpoints.
Placement
The finished piece is documented, professionally packed, insured, and supplied with care and installation guidance.
The brief
Tell the studio about the room.
Include only what you have: a room photo, rough measurements, a palette, a budget, or simply how the finished piece should feel. The form prepares an email draft in your own mail app.
Questions
Before a piece begins
Most commissions take 6 to 12 weeks from concept approval to delivery. Larger architectural pieces or work with extensive leaf and custom fabrication may require more time; the proposal includes a project-specific schedule.
Commission pricing begins around $1,500 for smaller works and grows with size, complexity, materials, framing, and installation needs. The inquiry asks for a working budget so the studio can propose the strongest viable direction.
A room photo, a color memory, a rough scale, or a sense of mood is enough to begin. The direction phase exists to turn those references into a coherent visual proposal.
Sketch and color revisions happen before painting. Once reverse painting begins, early details are sealed beneath later layers, so major changes may require a new scope. Any timing or cost implication is discussed before proceeding.
Yes. Collector and commissioned work can be professionally crated and shipped fully insured. International delivery and any installation coordination are quoted for the destination and dimensions.
A 50% deposit begins most commissions, with the balance due on completion before shipping. Larger projects may use a staged schedule. The studio provides a secure payment link or invoice after the proposal is approved.
