Commissions

Would you like to commission an original work of art, host a private paint night, or transform a wall through a custom mural?

Each project is developed collaboratively and shaped around the people, places, memories, and ideas that make it personal.

PRIVATE PAINT NIGHTS

A creative experience brought to your home or business

Host a guided paint night designed specifically for your group. I bring the creative direction, instruction, and an approachable process that allows each person to leave with a finished piece of their own.

Paint nights can be held at:

  • Private homes

  • Restaurants, cafés, and breweries

  • Offices and workplaces

  • Galleries and community spaces

  • Birthday parties and celebrations

  • Team-building events

  • Fundraisers and nonprofit events

The painting can be selected from an existing concept or designed around your business, event, location, or theme. No previous painting experience is necessary.

Your paint night can include:

  • A custom painting concept

  • Step-by-step instruction

  • Individual creative choices and variations

  • Materials coordination

  • Event setup guidance

  • Options for collaborative or glow-in-the-dark artwork

Pricing is based on the number of participants, location, materials, and project selected.

CUSTOM BIRTH MOON PAINTINGS

The moon as it appeared when you entered the world

Your birth moon is more than a zodiac symbol. It is a record of a particular moment in the sky.

Using your birth date, approximate time, and birthplace, I create an original artwork inspired by the moon phase and celestial orientation present at the time of your birth.

Each phase can also be interpreted through one of twelve lunar color identities, creating 96 foundational combinations before the moon’s orientation, surrounding sky, personal symbolism, and individual details are added.

No two birth moon paintings are exactly alike.

Your custom piece may include:

  • Your exact birth moon phase

  • The moon’s illuminated direction and orientation

  • A personalized lunar color palette

Birth moon paintings can be commissioned as meaningful gifts for:

  • Birthdays

  • New babies

  • Weddings and anniversaries

  • Memorials

  • Graduations

  • Personal milestones

  • New homes

  • Partners and family members

Available sizes and pricing will be provided during the commission process.

Murals

Original artwork created for the place it will live

Murals have the ability to change how a space feels, how people move through it, and what they remember about it.

I create custom murals for businesses, restaurants, schools, organizations, private homes, and public spaces. Each mural is developed in response to its environment and may incorporate local history, nature, cultural imagery, celestial elements, portraiture, storytelling, or the identity of the people who use the space.

Mural projects may include:

  • Interior feature walls

  • Exterior murals

  • Restaurant and hospitality artwork

  • Residential murals

  • Community and public art

  • School and educational murals

  • Interactive or collaborative murals

  • Glow-in-the-dark and UV-reactive elements

  • Branded artwork for businesses

  • Multi-panel and installation-based work

The mural process

1. Initial consultation

We discuss your wall, location, vision, budget, timeline, and the people who will experience the work.

2. Site review

I review photographs, measurements, wall conditions, accessibility, and any preparation the surface may require.

3. Concept development

You receive a custom concept based on the space and project goals.

4. Design approval

The composition, imagery, and major colors are finalized before painting begins.

5. Installation

The mural is painted on-site or created in transportable panels, depending on the project.

Mural pricing is determined by size, surface condition, design complexity, materials, location, equipment, and installation requirements.

YOUR DAY IN SPACE

Choose a birthday, anniversary, wedding, memorial, or other meaningful date.

Using NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day archive, I find the astronomical image featured on your selected date and reinterpret it as an original painting in my own style.

Your date may reveal a galaxy, planet, nebula, comet, eclipse, star cluster, or another view of the universe.

The finished artwork may include:

  • An original interpretation of the selected space image

  • Phosphorescent details that glow in darkness

  • Deep black or night-sky finishes

  • A personalized palette

  • A name, date, message, or inscription

  • A card describing the astronomical image connected to your date

The Astronomy Picture of the Day archive begins June 16, 1995.

HAVE SOMETHING ELSE IN MIND?

You are not limited to the examples listed here.

I welcome unusual, experimental, personal, and collaborative ideas. Your commission could begin with a dream, a piece of writing, a family story, a scientific image, an object, a place, or something that is difficult to describe.

Tell me what you are imagining, and we can explore what form it should take.
