commissioned work

I’m a portrait painter based in Toronto, accepting a limited number of private commissions each year: individuals, children, and family portraits we shape together.

My commissioned portrait practice runs parallel to the research-based work. Each commission is a unique, original oil portrait, painted with the same care I bring to my exhibition work: the same consideration, the same materials, the same commitment to painting figures with sustained looking. A commission is an opportunity to bring this quality of attention to someone or something that matters to you.

I work in artist-grade oils on archival canvas or wood panel. All work is painted from photographic reference. The best reference photographs are taken in natural light with strong shadows. I’ll work with you to find the right one before anything begins.

how it works

Whether it’s a single portrait or a family of five, each commission is quoted individually. Pricing is based on the specifics of your project: size, complexity, and number of figures. Portraits begin at $1,200. The minimum size available is 18×24 inches on gallery canvas or wood panel.

Deposit: 40% due with a signed contract before work begins.

Balance: Remaining 60% due on completion.

Timeline: Plan on 4 to 8 weeks from quote to delivery, depending on the time of year.

Shipping: Available and quoted separately.
