Murals

Pricing

Murals are priced at $40 per square foot.

For projects over 30 sq ft, concept development and design are included in the quoted price.

For smaller walls (30 sq ft or under), a $600 design fee applies in addition to the square-foot rate. This covers concept development, composition planning, and preparatory work.

Final pricing may vary depending on wall condition, location, access, and project complexity.

Fine Art Commissions

(Landscapes & Portraits)

I welcome enquiries for original paintings, including landscapes and portraits.

These works are developed with careful study and planning to create depth, atmosphere, and authenticity.

Whenever possible, I prefer to work from life, visiting the location or subject to create studies and gather reference material. This approach allows for a richer and more nuanced final painting. If working in person is not possible, alternative arrangements can be discussed.

Investment

Commissions begin at $1,000 for a 24×32 inch oil painting.
Final pricing varies depending on scale, subject complexity, and preparatory work.

Process

1 - Consultation
We discuss the subject, size, mood, and intention of the piece.

2 - Studies & Reference Gathering
Preliminary sketches and research inform the final composition.

3 - Studio Painting
The painting is developed in the studio over several weeks.

4 - Completion & Delivery

Narrative Painting Commissions

In addition to murals and traditional fine art commissions, I occasionally undertake narrative-driven projects that blend painting with illustrative storytelling.

These commissions are well-suited for collectors or clients seeking symbolic, imaginative, or concept-based work.

Because of their conceptual nature, these projects begin with a more in-depth creative discussion before proposal and pricing.
