Some commissioned pieces I’ve painted lately 🎨🤍 I’d love to make one for you!

Opening commissions again has been really enjoyable 🫶🏻 I mentioned wanting to get back to my roots and start painting more again, and what more meaningful way to do it than this 🥹

Here are a few recent pieces I’ve gotten to paint for people - I wish I could share them all but some are for gifts! 🤫

If you’re interested in a custom watercolor piece, send me a message with your questions! 💕

... Read moreGetting back to painting commissioned pieces has been such a fulfilling experience for me lately. There's something truly special about creating art that connects personally with someone else’s story or emotions. When I start a new commission, I like to take time to understand the client’s vision and what message or feeling they want the piece to convey. Whether it’s a gift for a special occasion or a meaningful decoration for their home, each painting becomes a cherished keepsake. Watercolor as a medium offers so much versatility — from soft, transparent washes to vibrant, bold accents. It’s great for capturing delicate details and subtle moods, which makes each piece feel alive and unique. I’ve found that including personalized touches inspired by the client’s life or preferences really enhances the emotional impact of the artwork. For anyone considering commissioning a custom watercolor, I recommend thinking about themes or moments that are meaningful to you. Maybe a favorite place, a beloved pet, or a memory you want to remember forever. Communicating these ideas clearly helps ensure the final piece resonates deeply with you. The process is very collaborative and open — I always encourage questions and feedback along the way to make sure you’re happy with the progress. Plus, commissioning art supports independent artists, which is incredibly rewarding. If you’re interested in getting a custom watercolor piece, I’d love to hear from you and create something beautiful that you or a loved one will treasure.
