Portrait commissions
A portrait that feels like someone, not just looks like them
Alongside my gallery work, I paint portrait commissions for collectors around the world. Each one begins with a conversation about the person, the mood you’d like to hold on to, and where the painting will live.
How it works
From conversation to canvas
Inquiry
Tell me who you’d like painted and what you have in mind.
Planning
We decide size, composition and reference together.
Painting
I start with a small color study for your approval, then paint the final original oil in my Southern California studio.
Delivery
The finished painting is shipped to you anywhere, or you can pick it up locally.
Good to know
Pricing
Commissions start at $2,000, depending on size and the number of people.

From 11×14 inches up to 48×72 inches, and larger on request.

I can work from your own photos, or we can do a photo shoot together to get the right reference.

Let’s talk about your portrait
Share who you’d like painted and a little about what you have in mind, and I’ll get back to you personally.
