How pricing works

Each quotation is composed individually from the scale of the canvas, the number of subjects, and the complexity of the setting. Full-length compositions and detailed backgrounds are quoted at the consultation.

A deposit reserves a place on the commission calendar. Installment schedules are welcome, and final payment is due only upon the client's approval of the finished work.

Select paintings are also available as giclée prints — inquire for the current edition list.
