Custom Commissioned Art
Have a vision, a memory, or a moment you want to hold onto?
Let's turn it into a painting made just for you, with every color, detail, and feeling woven in.
How It Works
From Your Ideas to My Canvas
We start with a thorough conversation about what you want to create. I want to know it all: the colors you love, the memories that matter, and the feeling you want the piece to have.
Together we decide on the concept, the details, and the exact materials for your piece, so nothing is left to chance.
Then I bring your vision to life. Every color, concept, and emotion we talked about gets woven into the finished painting.
Art That Is Entirely Yours
A commission is more than a painting. It's a memory, a person, a place, or a moment made into something you can see every day.
It gives me the greatest joy when a collector truly loves the piece, and that's what I work toward with every commission.

It was a little unfair to ask, only because I expected she would fail me. I'm an art snob. Having owned a gallery selling Warhols, Basquiats, Kandinskys and the like, I knew my art. So now comes along this vivacious spirit of an artist -- which I appreciated, but there's plenty of people who are enthusiastic, and very few who can deliver.
As a realtor based out of Clearwater, Florida, I always find my business yearning for those timeless pieces of art that transcend fads, and time sensitive sensibilities, and endures a striking aesthetic so that I may re-use these canvases in staging some of my more illustrious properties. I gave this artist my vision, and asked her to achieve what I didn't expect: a breathtaking, modern, yet transitional canvas rich with colors that punctuated the vibrancy I was seeking. Thank you, Heather, for bringing my vision to life. Your talent, I truly respect.

This piece that Heather has created is absolutely breathtaking. From the moment I saw it, I was drawn to it and knew that I needed to have it.
Heather went to great lengths to customize this painting for me. She worked out the exact sizing, mounted it on the perfect canvas so it could sit on my desk and on her own origination, added gold leaf to it, which gave it a very nice touch.
She packaged the painting so beautifully that when I received it, I didn't even want to open it.
I was very touched by her communication, because it was very personal and there was so much love in the package. I am so happy to have this beautiful piece. It's so unique -- I've never seen anything like it. It has several illusionary aspects to it and it almost mesmerizes me when I look at it. I could go on and on, but overall I am so happy with it!
Thank you, Heather!
