So you're interested in an original artwork?
How do I start?
After familiarizing yourself with the process as detailed below and viewing my mandala portfolio to better understand my work and to get design ideas, patrons should contact me via email (form below) or via social media messaging to set up a date and time for a consult.
Although not required, I suggest that patrons schedule a commission consult when considering an original artwork at my studio/showroom. At the consult we will discuss size options as well as color and design. There you will have a chance to see my work in person and get a better understanding of what your finished work will look like.
The length of time for commissioned works varies by size and design and my work schedule as well; however, typically I can finish a single mandala in 2 weeks or less.
I ask for 15% down when ordering and payment in full when work is picked up. I will also ship up to 24" works for an additional cost. If desired I can send update photos during the process; however, it is often hard for people to visualize the end design and I suggest you trust me to create a work that you will fall in love with.
If at the completion of the work the patron is unhappy with the work, we will discuss design changes and I will rework the piece based on the new consult. If after a reworking, the patron is still unhappy with the piece they will not be required to purchase the work in full and will simply forfeit their down payment.
Personal Photo Mandalas:
Mandalas can also be made using personal photos instead of my typical magazine clippings. Photos can be "tinted" digitally to attain a desired color scheme. The number of digital photos needed for a piece depends on the size commissioned but typically 10-12 photos is best, more for larger sizes. There is an additional 15% charge for personal photo mandalas.
