Guide to Requesting a Commission
Do you want to commission a collage but don’t know where to start or how it works? Here is a guide to help you out!
A lot of people enjoy my work, but do not see a collage they like enough to take home or the one they want is already sold, but not to worry! We can work on a collage together based on your ideas and visual preferences whether it is for your home or a gift for someone else.
Have this guide open while filling out your form to help you out with each step.

Commission Request Form
____________________________________________________________________
After your form is submitted we will discuss my availability, the time frame I will need to finish your collage and down payment.
1. SIZE AND QUANTITY
There are lots of options for sizing to fit your needs whether it be for a specific wall space or simply needs to fit your budget.
Please email me through my contact page to request a price list based on sizing.
Available sizing for wooden panels (1.5" deep):
3” x 5” (diptych)
6” x 6”
8” x 6”
8” x 10”
10” x 10”
12” x 12”
11” x 14”
12” x 16”
16” x 20”
18” x 24”
*If you would like larger than 18” x 24” I can reproduce your collage as a mounted print and frame it. Example sizes are 28” x 34”, 44” x 30”. With reproductions we can do any size you like.
These large reproductions are matte prints that are mounted on omega bond and finished off with a white floater frame. You will be given the original along with your reproduction.
They look absolutely beautiful. See examples below.
2. IDEAS & COLOURS
What themes, ideas, objects and aspects do you want to see in your collage?
Examples: love, relationships, family, animals, etc.
You can be very vague or specific with this part. Some people know exactly what they want to see and others let me take the reins and enjoy being surprised in the end. If you like a collage that is sold and want something similar provide me with the title. This will help me see what style you like and are looking for.
From this information I will look for base images that relate to your ideas and themes. I will provide you with at least 2-6 options for you to choose from. You can also provide me with your own images – send me the images and I can decide whether it is something I can work with.
What colours do you want in your collage?
Some like me to decide this, but if you have colour preferences let me know.
