Commissions
Invitation for Art Commissions
Commissioning a work of art is an intimate and collaborative process — one rooted in trust, vision, and intention. We invite a limited number of clients each month to explore the possibility of creating a bespoke, one-of-a-kind piece with Amanda.
Please Note: Amanda accepts a maximum of two commissions per month. Our commission schedule is currently full. Applications are now being considered for the waitlist.
The Process:
Phase One: Initial Inquiry
To begin, please complete our Commission Application, sharing your vision, preferred dimensions, framing considerations, reference images, timeline, and investment range.
Submit a Commission Application
Applications are reviewed for creative alignment and availability. Submission does not guarantee acceptance or reserve a place on Amanda’s commission calendar. Selected applicants will be invited to Phase Two.
Phase Two: Art Consultation & Commission Planning Call
Approved clients will move forward with a Zoom consultation and planning call. In this call, we will have a deeper discussion of the art to discover which specific elements of Amanda's work you are most drawn to, as well as any framing preferences, logistics, timeline expectations, pricing structure, and next steps.
Calls typically last up to one hour, depending on the scope and complexity of the request.
After this call, you will receive an all-inclusive written commission proposal covering:
- The artwork
- Framing
- Packaging and shipping
- Delivery timeline
- Total investment
- Any other special requests covered during the call
Upon your approval, an initial investment of half-down will secure your place on the commission calendar.
Notes on the Process:
To ensure clarity and alignment, please keep the following in mind:
- Art is deeply personal. While decisions about timing, size, or budget can be delegated, you can’t delegate what truly moves you. Our commissioning process is designed to be easy, enjoyable, and help clients explore their tastes. To ensure the final work reflects your vision, anyone with approval authority should join the consultation.
- Painting is both intuitive and technical. Some techniques must be executed at specific stages, so late-stage changes can be difficult or impossible. Establishing a clear vision up front is essential for a smooth delivery.
- Amanda may work within a similar color family, mood, or compositional direction, but she does not replicate past works.
- All pieces are hand-crafted; subtle variations, texture, and imperfections are inherent and part of their value.
- One round of revisions is included. Additional revisions may be accommodated for an extra fee, depending on scope.
-
Please note: Amanda is not currently accepting commissions in oil. Commissioned works are created using her acrylic and mixed-media process.
