Commissions

I am currently open for commissions for landscapes and portraits. I would love to help you encapsulate a moment in time, a fond memory, a special place or a loved one and create a work for you to cherish.

The Process

Product

We’ll meet or schedule a phone call to discuss your ideal painting. If needed I conduct site visits for landscape studies, and determine if references for portraits are high quality enough for me to replicate.

Payment

We’ll discuss the price of your commission based upon my linear inch pricing. A fifty percent deposit is due upfront before work begins, while the other fifty percent will be due before or upon receipt of the painting. I will provide personalized product links for both payments.

Timeline

Depending on the size and complexity of your request and my current work, I will estimate a timeline of two to six months to complete your commission. I’ll check in a few times during the process to update you on the direction of the piece as well as get your feedback for any changes.

Delivery

Depending on dry times, I will ship or deliver your painting within three weeks of completion. If you’re local, we can arrange a time for me to deliver the piece to you or for you to pick it up from my Freeland studio. Each commission comes with a certificate of authenticity, my card, framing suggestions and other relevant information.

  • We never had a picture of them at that house. After they sold it, it was torn down and then we lost my grandfather. So this painting is so sentimental and will be in the family forever... I had been thinking about a way to encapsulate the memories and this was perfect, so thank you!

    Caroline S., Legacy Painting Client

  • After years of admiring her work, I finally got the opportunity to commission Jo to do a legacy painting for me. Watching the process through updates, she took a blank canvas and managed to bring a warmth to the home that has been missing for far too long, the presence of a grandfather holding his grandson that he never got to meet. She captured every bit of not only their looks, but their personalities as well. I can't thank Jo enough for giving me the opportunity to finally have these two together forever in our home.

  • Jo was so amenable to all the detail I wanted to add to my painting! It was so great working with her!

Why me?

It can be tough choosing the artist to bring your artistic vision to life. Reasons past clients have worked with me include:

  • No two artists’ styles look the same. In that vein, even if I could perfectly replicate another artist’s work, you should commission me if you want a piece in my own expressive aesthetic.

  • Our lives get busy, on both sides - just as I’ll follow up on status updates I’ve provided, I’ll let you know as soon as I can if I have any questions, clarifications, or delays on my end whether from a sick kid or vacation. Text, call or email anytime.

  • My degree is in fine art, and with that I’ll suggest the best solutions or insights into your piece, and what’ll make it look best with the time, canvas size, and references we have. Let me translate your vision with informed decisions and unending creativity!

  • My pricing doesn’t depend on how I feel or how much time I put into the work. For me, each piece I create helps me grow, and I won’t tack on extra costs for time or detail. Instead I charge transparently per linear inch, so you’re not subject to subjective value.
