Fine Art Commission Agreement & Client Experience

Commission an Original Artwork

Thank you for choosing to invest in an original work of art. Every commissioned artwork is an exclusive, one-of-a-kind piece created specifically for you through a thoughtful collaboration that honors your vision while preserving the integrity of my artistic practice.

Working primarily in abstract and contemporary modernism, I create museum-quality artwork designed to become a lasting statement piece for your home, business, or collection.

Each commission is approached with intention, craftsmanship, and attention to detail, resulting in an original work that cannot be replicated.


The Commission Experience

Discovery Consultation

Every commission begins with a private consultation where we will discuss:

  • Purpose and intended space for the artwork

  • Dimensions and orientation

  • Preferred color palette

  • Desired mood, emotion, and inspiration

  • Design preferences

  • Timeline

  • Budget

  • Delivery and installation needs

Following the consultation, you will receive a personalized Commission Agreement detailing the project scope, specifications, investment, timeline, and expectations.


Reservation & Payment

A commission is officially reserved once:

  • The Commission Agreement has been signed.

  • A non-refundable deposit equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total commission investment has been received.

The remaining fifty percent (50%) balance is due before delivery, installation, or shipment of the completed artwork.

Artwork remains the sole property of the Artist until payment has been received in full.

Accepted payment methods will be outlined in the Commission Agreement.

Balances remaining unpaid beyond ten (10) calendar days after notification of completion may incur a late fee of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law) and may delay delivery until the account is current.


Creative Process

Each commissioned piece is an original work of art.

Although your ideas and preferences help guide the process, the artwork reflects my individual artistic style, creative interpretation, materials, and techniques.

No commissioned artwork will be an exact reproduction of another artwork, photograph, or digital rendering.

Clients acknowledge that originality is one of the defining characteristics of fine art.


Design Timeline

Initial Design Development

Approximately 30 days after the signed agreement and deposit have been received, a draft image of the artwork will be shared via email.

This review confirms:

  • Overall composition

  • Color direction

  • Scale

  • Design intent

  • General visual balance


Review Process

Your commission includes two complimentary revision opportunities.

First Review

Draft image shared electronically via email.

Second Review

Conducted virtually or in person.

Third Review (Final Revision, if necessary)

Conducted virtually or in person.

Minor refinements are welcomed during these review stages.

Examples include:

  • Color adjustments

  • Balance refinements

  • Minor compositional changes

The following constitute significant scope changes and may require a new agreement, revised timeline, and additional fees:

  • Different dimensions

  • New color direction

  • New concept

  • Major redesign

  • Different subject matter

  • Significant compositional restructuring

Additional revisions beyond the two included revisions are billed at the Artist's current hourly consultation rate.


Completion Timeline

Following final client approval, the artwork will be completed within approximately 45 days.

The timeline may vary depending upon:

  • Drying and curing time

  • Specialty materials

  • Custom framing

  • Protective finishing

  • Shipping preparation

Should additional time become necessary, the Client will be notified promptly.


Delivery

Upon receipt of the remaining balance, delivery arrangements will be scheduled.

Delivery options include:

  • Studio pickup

  • Local hand delivery

  • Professional installation

  • Domestic shipping

  • International shipping (where available)

Shipping, insurance, installation, customs fees, framing, taxes, and white-glove delivery services are billed separately unless otherwise specified.

Risk of loss transfers to the Client upon delivery to the designated shipping carrier or upon completion of personal delivery.

The Artist is not responsible for delays or damages caused by shipping carriers, weather events, customs inspections, or circumstances beyond reasonable control. Insurance coverage during transit is strongly recommended and can be arranged upon request.

Every original commissioned artwork includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity verifying:

  • Original creation

  • Title

  • Medium

  • Dimensions

  • Completion date

  • Artist signature

Requests for temporary confidentiality prior to public unveiling must be made in writing before work begins.


Care & Maintenance

Each artwork is created using professional-quality materials intended for long-term display.

Clients will receive care instructions upon delivery.

To preserve the artwork, avoid:

  • Direct prolonged sunlight

  • Excess humidity

  • Extreme temperatures

  • Abrasive cleaning products


Limited Workmanship Warranty

  • Accidents

  • Fire

  • Flood

  • Water damage

  • Natural disasters

Cancellations

The deposit compensates the Artist for:

  • Consultation

  • Design development

  • Creative planning

  • Scheduling

  • Studio time

  • Materials

  • Administrative preparation

Should the Client cancel the commission after work has begun, all payments made remain non-refundable.

If the Artist is unable to complete the commission due to unforeseen circumstances, the Client will receive a refund of any payments exceeding the value of completed work.


Force Majeure

The Artist shall not be held liable for delays resulting from circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to illness, family emergencies, acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, government actions, supplier shortages, labor disruptions, transportation delays, or other unforeseeable events. Completion timelines will be reasonably extended if such events occur.


Right to Decline

The Artist reserves the right to decline or discontinue any commission that:

  • Conflicts with personal artistic values

  • Infringes upon copyrights or trademarks

  • Requests reproduction of another artist's work

  • Contains unlawful, defamatory, or offensive subject matter

  • Falls outside the Artist's established style or expertise

Should a commission be declined before work begins, any payments received, excluding consultation fees (if applicable), will be refunded.


Client Responsibilities

The Client agrees to:

  • Respond promptly to review requests.

  • Provide accurate information during consultations.

  • Complete review approvals within seven (7) calendar days of receiving each draft.

If review feedback is delayed beyond fourteen (14) days, project timelines may be adjusted accordingly.


Entire Agreement

This Commission Agreement constitutes the complete understanding between the Artist and Client and supersedes all prior discussions, emails, and verbal communications.

Any amendments must be made in writing and signed by both parties.


Acceptance

By signing this Agreement and submitting the required deposit, the Client acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to all Commission Terms and Conditions.

The Artist looks forward to creating an exceptional original artwork that will be enjoyed for generations.
