I am currently accepting commissions and can create artwork in a variety of subjects and several mediums. I work from photographs provided by the client or from photos that I have taken. Each piece of artwork is hand-drawn or painted with artist-grade materials.

Example of a 12x16 inch acrylic painting
All acrylic paintings are created with archival quality products. The paintings are created on gallery wrapped canvas and the sides are painted and varnished, so they are ready to display right away with no framing necessary.
The availability of specific canvas sizes may change at times. Please contact me if an alternative size is needed.
The prices include your choice of background.
Clear communication is essential for commissioned artwork. Here are a few things you should consider when commissioning artwork from any artist:
Reference photos are very important for realistic artwork. Very simply put, better photos = better art.

I require a 25% non-refundable deposit prior to starting commissioned artwork. This is 25% of the total cost of the finished artwork minus shipping. Deposits are non-refundable except in the unfortunate event where I would be unable to finish your artwork, whereby I will refund your deposit in full.
The deposit guarantees your place in my work list and covers the cost of the materials.
Yes, I can.
Please allow 2-3 weeks for the completion of most colored pencil and graphite pencil artwork 8x10 inches and larger and additional time for shipping. Artwork larger than 8x10 inches with full backgrounds may take longer to complete depending on the size and complexity of the piece.
Acrylic paintings may take 1-2 months depending on the size and complexity of the piece. They may also require extra time for varnishing and shipping.
Smaller, less detailed sketches should only take a few days at most to complete.
Rushed commissions might be possible, but for an additional fee.
Yes, I can. This is helpful when there are several subjects in once piece of artwork. A preliminary sketch helps to show the composition of the artwork. I can start the preliminary sketch prior to starting on the commission. If you approve of this preliminary sketch, I will start the artwork.
Not typically, but I have in special circumstances. Matting and framing drastically increases the price of shipping.
The prices of the graphite and colored pencil artwork listed above does not include matting and framing. All matting and framing costs will be in addition to the prices listed above.
All acrylic paintings are created on gallery wrapped style canvas which does not need additional framing - the borders are painted and the backs are wired to lay flat against the wall.
Possibly. I like challenges so if you have a creative project that you would like to consider having me work on that I have not listed as a medium here, contact me.
I occasionally work in several mediums not listed on my website such as watercolor colored pencils, charcoal, oil pastel, soft pastel, airbrushing (not on vehicles - yet), polymer clay, and epoxy clay.
I have painted commissioned turkey calls and turkey feathers, river rock art (to look like animals, flowers, buildings, etc). I have also created shrink art earrings that look just like someone's pet.
Yes, I can. I can send progress photos of the artwork throughout the creative process. If you want changes to the artwork, it is best to do this in the beginning stages so please look carefully at the photos that I send you.
Please let me know the preferred contact to send the progress photos to.
All images will be watermarked, but this is for web viewing only and will not be on the finished artwork.
A watermarked image of the finished artwork will be emailed or texted to you for your approval. The watermark will not be on the finished artwork, it is only for web viewing.
After your approval of the finished artwork, the remainder of the balance due is to be paid in full prior to shipping the artwork.
Payment types accepted: MasterCard, Visa, and Discover through PayPal (no PayPal account is necessary to do this) and postal money orders.
All payments must clear before I ship or deliver the artwork.
I typically ship USPS mail. All artwork will be shipped within 3-5 business days after your approval and the final payment clears. The shipping prices and insurance are not included in my prices and may vary depending on the size of the artwork and the shipping location. If you need alternative shipping, please let me know.
I reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order at any time if fraud or an unauthorized transaction is suspected.
You may cancel your order at any time, but I will not ship the artwork if the balance is not paid in full. The deposit is non-refundable except in the unfortunate event where I would be unable to finish your artwork, whereby I will refund your deposit in full.
I occasionally teach colored pencil classes at various locations throughout Mid-Missouri. I will list the classes on social media (Facebook) when they are available.
I regularly post on social media (Facebook and Instagram). Like and follow to see regular updates.

Yes, several pieces of my artwork in the portfolio section are available for purchase. If the original is still available, it will state "original available" under the drawing.
Some of the original artwork is currently matted, framed, and wired for displaying.
Yes, I sell giclee prints. They are listed under the portfolio section on the purchase prints page. I have these made for me by a local printer who specializes in Giclée fine art reproduction.
I retain the copyright on all artwork I produce and reserve the right to use the artwork on my website and social media for promotional material. If you would prefer not to have your commissioned artwork used in that way, please inform me when the order is made.
No duplication of artwork is allowed without my written consent, nor may it be used by third parties for profit. The artwork may not be altered in any way, including the removal of my signature.
