Fine Art Commissions
Original Acrylic Paintings of Your Memories
Fine art acrylic paintings are created using photographs provided by the client. For best results, high resolution photographs work best. If needed, the artist can come to the location and photograph the landscape or structure being rendered.
Prices include: research, photographing (if needed), painting supplies, and framing. Each detailed painting produced is a one of kind original that is ready to hang in your home or present as a gift to a loved one.

Each painting is unique and depends on the size and amount of detail. Generally it takes 2-8 weeks to complete a painting.

Live Event Painting
There is something magical about live event painting. It captures not only the moment of a special occasion but also all of the planning, hard work, and vision that the client worked so hard to create. It's something tangible that is made the day the of a special event whether it is a wedding, birthday, or anniversary party. It holds all of the anticipation, excitement, fun and laughter that everyone experienced while celebrating. The painting is something, I hope, the client will cherish for the rest of their lives.
How it works
- The client submits a reservation form (below) with all of the event information.
- The artist and client will meet to discuss what the client would like painted and a contract will be signed.
- The night of the event, I will arrive 2-3 hours prior to set up and begin painting the background.
- I will paint throughout the night for guests to watch the progression of the artwork.
- The painting will be taken back to my studio for final touches, varnishing and framing.
- The finished work of art will be delivered 2 weeks after the event.
There are a few specific things I need in order to best create a priceless work of art for you. I will need 6' x 6' space near the moment being painted with an accessible electrical outlet. I prefer not to be located near the DJ, as their speakers can vibrate the canvas and make painting more difficult. A vendor meal is also required for me to perform at my best and is greatly appreciated.
Pricing starts at $500 and includes travel (up to 20 miles from 08318) painting, varnishing and framing. I understand everyone has a budget for their wedding or event and I try to accommodate everyone's needs. Exact prices depends on the size of the painting. Please fill out the form below for a free quote.
After the initial consultation, 50% of the contract price is due to hold the date. The deposit is fully refundable if I am contacted by phone at least 30 days before the event. The remaining balance is due no later one week prior to the event.
Your one-of-a-kind painting can be turned into a greeting card, throw pillow, tote bag and more!
