Commission Information

My commissions are personalized works of art created specifically for you using my materials or personal effects (i.e. pictures, designs, etc.) that you provide. The size of canvas that I can work on is soley dependent on you and the size of the space you intend to display the work. Other factors also include whether you want the painting to be the main focus of your room or just a finishing touch.

I do not have set prices for my commissions because it is largely based on the size of painting and its complexity. As you might expect, the larger and more complex the painting, the higher the cost.

When commissioned by a client, I generally meet with you at your home or office to visualize the painting in your designated space. This allows me to take pictures of the space and suggest colors, designs, and patterns for the painting. If you live across the country or outside the States, this can still be accomplished with digital photographs and emaill. I just prefer to meet with you face-to-face.

When you commission me, I do everything possible to ensure that you are happy with the painting. This also includes protecting your legal rights as a Collector - see sample Commission Contract. I only work on a contractual basis and require a non-refundable payment of 1/3 the total cost of the painting prior to initiating the painting. The 1/3 payment covers costs associated with supplies.

Please contact me at (813) 523-1189 or art@lauramae.com with any questions or concern. I sincerely want you to feel comfortable with the commission process.
