FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Small works on wooden panel (fabric encouraged!) start at $900. Small = 8" x 10" or 11" x 14" A 50% deposit is required to get started on your painting, which can be paid using credit or mailed check, after we've determined a vision for the work. I gladly take applepay, cash, paypall, venmo, zelle. I create a rough sketch and work out the best composition for your painting. I send progress photos along the way to ensure you are 100% satisfied! The remaining 50% is required prior to shipping. For locals in Tampa, FL I offer delivery to your home or public place. Mural pricing can range from $15-30 per square foot depending on the complexity of the project. Supplies, scaffolding and travel are not included in this price.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A commissioned portrait is a deeply personal collaboration that begins with a conversation, either by e-mail or phone. Because I believe in the uniqueness and individuality of a single person, one painting focuses on one individual. As a general rule, I don't paint group portraits, but would love to create several mini-paintings that could be hung as a group! I work from reference photos, sometimes a batch of several photos. Not all photos are created equal and I will work with you to determine what photos work best.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts, specializing in figurative/representational drawing and paintings from Florida Southern College and a Master of Fine Arts, which is the highest degree one can earn in the visual arts, from Florida Atlantic University. I am certified to teach K-12 Art in Florida and have been teaching for the past 7 years. I have also studied with esteemed figure and representational painters, Gregory Graham Grant, William Otremsky, and Steven Assael.
