Art for Your Business

Original work changes a space differently than a print does.

For offices, hospitality, and corporate collections, that difference is the point — a piece with real depth and a real story signals something about the business it's in.

I work with businesses on single acquisitions and on larger collection builds, including sourcing and curating a body of work across a space.

Collectors and institutions

I work directly with collectors, and welcome conversations with institutions and galleries about placement, exhibition, or acquisition for collection.

About My Arts Practice

I grew up with boxes of photographs, writing and stories that made our family history tangible. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how rare that continuity is.

I create visual works that explore how collective and personal history intersect; belonging, lineage, and the environments people inhabit. That perspective comes from lived experience across communities shaped by movement and adaptation.

For anyone interested in family archives of their own: the commissions process walks through exactly how a photograph becomes a piece — from the first discovery call through studio production to a framed, finished work in your hands.

  • Reach out through the contact form or email with a bit about what you're envisioning — whose story, which photographs, what feeling you want the piece to carry. We schedule a short discovery call (20-30 min) to talk through your vision, the people or moments involved, and practical details like size and placement in your home.

    What I need from you: a general sense of the story you want told, and whether you already have archival photos in hand.

    You share the photographs, documents, or family materials that will anchor the piece — scanned or physical, whatever you have. We talk through the history behind them: names, dates, relationships, what matters about this particular thread of your family's story. This is the raw material the piece will be built from.

    Timeline: 1-2 weeks, client-paced. This step moves as fast as you're ready to move.

  • Based on our conversation, you receive a written proposal: scope, size, medium, price, and estimated timeline. Once approved, we sign a simple commission agreement and you pay a deposit (typically 50%) to reserve your place in the studio calendar.

  • I develop an initial composition concept — a digital mockup or sketch showing how your photographs and story will come together in the piece. You review and approve the direction before any painting begins. This is the one checkpoint built into the process specifically so there are no surprises later.

    One round of revisions is included at this stage.

  • This is where the piece is actually made: substrate preparation, image transfer or collage work, underpainting, and layered painting sessions. This phase takes the longest and happens entirely in-studio — it's not something that can be rushed without compromising the work.

    Once painting is complete, the piece cures and is varnished for protection. I professionally photograph the finished work for both your records and mine — this step also protects the archival value of the piece.

    Typical active studio time: 25-40 hours across 6-8 weeks, depending on scale and complexity.

  • The remaining balance is due before delivery or framing begins. From there, you choose:

    • Unframed delivery (ready for your own framer), or

    • Framing through the studio, which adds framer lead time (typically 1-3 weeks depending on the framer's queue)

    You receive care instructions for the piece — placement away from direct sunlight, cleaning guidance, and archival notes about the materials used, so the work is protected for the next generation of your family, the way it was made to be.
