    1. Reach out — Tell me a little about what you have in mind. It takes about two minutes.

    2. Discovery — We talk through your story, inspiration, and vision. I confirm sizing, timing, and availability, then send you an estimate. Payment reserves your place on my calendar.

    3. Creation — I paint with care, openness, and intention. (One proof/revision is included.)

    4. Completion — You receive a one-of-a-kind piece for you or your loved one.

    This process ensures your artwork feels personal, meaningful, and true to your story.

  • Each piece requires a minimum turnaround of three weeks.

    That said, timelines vary by size, subject, and complexity. During our consultation, I’ll share a clear timeline so you know what to expect.

  • All custom and original art pieces are created with light washes of watercolor and archival inks on premium archival watercolor paper, ensuring both beauty and longevity.

  • Because each piece is one-of-a-kind and created especially for you, we do not offer returns on commissioned work or original pieces. If there are concerns upon delivery, we’ll address them thoughtfully so you feel cared for in the process.

  • Think about the story or memory you want captured, any reference photos you’d like to share, and general ideas about color, size, and mood. I’ll guide you through the rest during our conversation.
