Can I commission Jennifer for a painting?

 

Yes! Jennifer is currently taking commissions, with a wait of about 6 months.  
The minimum size for a commissioned painting is 12x16”.  Custom dimensions are welcome, as canvases can be ordered at any size for specific walls. Base rate canvas pricing below. 
 

How can I begin the commission process?

 

Submit a Request Form with the following information:

  

• estimated dimensions (minimum of 12x16”)

• your rough idea for a commission, as detailed as you can

• list 2-3 favorite paintings by Jennifer or another artist to be used as potential direction/inspiration

• include any images, reference photos if it’s a more personal subject matter you’re interested in

Jennifer does not accept all subjects or palettes, but is very happy to hear what you have in mind, and to try.
Based on these details, we will get back to you promptly with a quote and estimated timeline.
 

How does payment work?

 

After this initial conversation, a 50% deposit is needed to be added to the waitlist, and to begin the design process. 
The full deposit is refundable at any time. To protect both the collector and the artist, the commission can be canceled prior to, during, or after the painting is finished either by Jennifer or the collector.  This allows Jennifer the freedom to create based on your preferences or guidelines, but not sacrifice the surprises inherent to her creative process.  Art is very personal and subjective for both the collector(s) and the artist, and in the event that a commissioned artwork is not claimed it will be released to the open market.  Since the deposit is 100% refundable, Jennifer has the freedom to run with the suggestion and make it her own.

 

The collector will receive images via email of the work-in-progress at around 75% completion, and will be encouraged to add their thoughts and input at this time.  Final payment is due upon completion of the work. Shipping (if applicable) will be billed separately, upon the collector’s receipt of the painting. Fill out the form below to begin.

How long does a large painting take?
 

It takes Jennifer a few days to plan and sketch out the piece, and several weeks to complete.  An additional week is necessary to allow all the oil layers to dry fully, in preparation for final varnish.

​

Will my painting come framed? 

​

For an additional charge (the price of the chosen frame and hardware), your painting can be shipped framed and ready-to-hang with a wire. Contact the artist for types of frames on hand or about choosing a specific frame.
