Yes, I do commissions. And some of my favorite work has come from them.
I work in oil, pyrography, and fiber — sometimes alone, sometimes together. I paint surreal narratives, symbolic portraits, and pieces that don't fit neatly into a category. If you've been sitting on an idea because you weren't sure anyone could pull it off, that's exactly the kind of conversation I want to have.
I'm not a photorealistic portrait artist. But if you want something that feels like the person, the place, the moment — something that carries weight and stays with you — that's where I live.
The best commissions I've done started with someone handing me a story and trusting me to find the image inside it. I bring my full hand to every piece. That doesn't change just because someone else initiated the idea.
My work tends toward the symbolic and the surreal — there's usually something underneath the surface, something that rewards a second look. That sensibility doesn't disappear in commission work. If anything, it deepens it. You're not just getting a painting. You're getting a painting that means something.
If something is stirring, reach out. Tell me what you're after. We'll figure out the rest from there.
