Special Projects and Commissioned Art
Why yes, I DO take commissions!
I create portraits of people, animals, places, and imagined scenarios. With playful ideas and meaningful representation, I will create a very unique, timeless piece of original art for you or your friends. It doesn't have to be so very traditional, either. See the capybaras, or the phoenix, for example. These make the most exceptional and personal gifts for birthdays, holidays, weddings, and ... well I can't think of any day that wouldn't suit. See the collections above for work I've done in the past.
The first step is to contact me, and we can discuss your vision.
For other custom pieces, such as prints, cards, and pendants, email me.
I'm happy to help create your one of a kind item!
Some reactions from past projects...
"I can't even begin to describe how impressed I am with your work. It's probably even better than anything I had envisioned could come out of this! A is ecstatic, and even the kids think it's great! Thank you so much for doing this, it really has ended up being something quite perfect."
"S loved the painting and so did I. It's adorable. I think he will write to you himself. I don't know how you do it, but you always get it just right."
"I added a little extra as a token of my appreciation for such a wonderful piece. I know S is going to love it, Leslie, you definitely captured their expressions amazingly. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our precious treasures."
"It takes a lot to make C speechless but that was exactly what she was Christmas morning. I can't express how much she loves your painting… and I can't express how grateful I am. You have a pure joy, whimsy and reflectiveness that comes out in all of your artwork and these are the same qualities I love about C. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!"
"These five custom pieces you made for me are PHENOMENAL. Seriously, just awesome!!! I can't even pick a favorite. The recipients will absolutely love them. You always capture my vision perfectly and each picture shows how creative and masterful you are with lines, shapes, colors, and the melding of all of those together to create such a cohesive, beautiful piece of art. For instance, when I see a palm frond, I see a monochromatic, flat and relatively boring object. You make it look interesting and beautiful. A palm frond."
