My commissioned art work is an original graphite drawing that is drawn just for you of the subject of your choice. This is a very important and essential part of what I do. There is no greater sense of satisfaction for me than to have captured a beloved pet or child or scene in a drawing that you and your family will enjoy for generations.

The price of my commissioned pieces start at a one figure drawing for 8"X10" for $375.00. This is generally a head shot of the subject or one figure. The price range varies with size and amount of subjects in the drawing, and the median price being a 16X20 with two figures for 750.00-$900.00. I can work from a photo, but generally work from a variety of photos omitting and adding to achieve the desired result.

My work is fully guaranteed and you must be completely satisfied with your drawing. I take a lot of pride in what I do and this is a priority to me. The better and clearer the photo(s) that are provided, the better the results will be. There have been cases where I have not been able to take on commissions, because I didn't believe that I could achieve what was wanted with the photos and information that provided. I will be up front and honest with you about this. Because I do take my time on these pieces and want them to be just right, I have a waiting list of generally 6 mo-1yr for the commissioned pieces. I believe they are worth the wait and a treasure forever!
