    Proofing: Within 1–2 weeks, I’ll provide rough sketches and color ideas for approval. Once a proof is approved, no major changes can be made, and I’ll move on to painting.

    Watercolor & Acrylic: 4–8 weeks for completion.

    Oil Paintings: 6–10 weeks to allow for drying time.

    Progress Updates: I’ll check in every 2 weeks and share updates on social media. You’re welcome to follow along!

  • Touch-ups are available for clients in the St. Louis area only.

    Touch-ups include minor alterations or repairs, billed at $20/hour, up to a maximum of $200.

    Significant changes or additions are not considered touch-ups and cannot be made post-completion.

  • Framing is the client’s responsibility, but I’m happy to provide recommendations.

    Shipping costs are billed separately. All shipments are insured up to $100, and tracking numbers will be provided.

  • Guidelines

    I aim to bring your vision to life while staying true to my artistic style.

    I do not invent landscapes, objects, or intricate backgrounds, and I don’t emulate other artists' styles.

    I love learning the story behind each piece, so feel free to share details about the recipient, colors, or any special elements you’d like incorporated.

    Rights & Usage

    I retain rights to the artwork for portfolio or promotional use.

    I will not sell prints of your piece without explicit written permission.

    I may create future works inspired by certain compositions, poses, colors, or techniques used in your piece.

  • It’s always a joy to see where my art finds its home! If you’d like, please share reviews, tag me on social media, or send photos of your piece on display.

    I look forward to working with you to create something beautiful and meaningful!
