Commissions
I would be honored to create a one of a kind painting for your space!
We’ll collaborate to discover your unique color story and shape vocabulary for the piece.
Currently taking commission requests for 2023
The Process
1: Tuning In
We’ll begin with a conversation to discuss our inspiration, intention, and plan. It can be helpful to reference other art pieces or create a vision board.
2: Compositions & Color Palettes
I will create a handful of options based on our conversation and see what comes forward. There will be a couple chances to make edits to settle on the right direction.
3: Painting
Once we are aligned, I will begin working on the final piece. Along the way, I will send progress photos and consult with you on any nuances as we dive into the details of a larger piece. The timeline will depend on the size and complexity of the piece.
4: Framing & Delivery
Once the painting is finished, we can discuss your framing options and figure out the best method for delivery.
The Details

Collaboration
I will share photos and process notes along the way, offering you a big window into my painting process. You are invited into the process as a key collaborator.
Timing
Commissions typically need at least one or two seasons to go from concept, to final framed piece.
Testimonals
“We were very nervous as we started this commission process with Julie. We have never commissioned a piece of art at this scale and we weren’t sure sure we really knew what we were doing. My husband And I have never done this before. Julie was kind and patient with me during every stage of the commission process. She answered my questions promptly, asked for examples, asked clarifying questions, and helped guide us in the creative process while honoring our vision and ideas for this piece of art. That kind of service and attitude was what really sold us to choose her and her work.
We really enjoyed seeing the different options and then narrowing in from there. We could tell that she put a level of care and creativity in each option based on what we shared with her. The contract for the commission was exceptionally clear and professional which we appreciated.
Our favorite part was the updates as she created the piece of art in our home. The timeline was realistic so it was amazing to see pieces of the process along the way. We loved that interaction with her as well.
This was the last piece that we wanted in our home to complete the space in our homes. It was better than we could have imagined. The art fills and fits the space perfectly. We could not imagined this entire process or the art being as fantastic as it was.
Julie is personable, clear, patient and immensely talented. Her love of the craft is clear with every line and stroke on our painting.”
