My approach for commissioned collages is straightforward.  We get started by having a conversation about the piece and come to a mutual understanding about key parameters – size, colors, and ideas for imagery.  I want to hear the story behind what you’d like to convey or memorialize in the work.  We can create this narrative together.

The images need to convey experiences or emotions, so please don’t ask me to include a portrait of a family member in the collage. 

I will need a deposit of 60% of the estimated final cost based on the size of the collage before I get started.  I will also provide you with an estimated completion timeframe once the narrative is established.

My minimum size for commissions is 3 sq. ft. , and the maximum size is only limited by our imaginations.  Pricing is based on the square footage of the piece, priced at $250/square foot (each side rounded up to the nearest integer)

If desired, I can create a “mood board” of the images, colors, and graphic elements that represent the narrative we’ve discussed.  Because my work is bespoke and organic, I generally don’t provide a draft of the final images or “sneak peeks” of the work as it progresses.  I want the unveiling of the work in its final form to create anticipation and excitement for you.

If you are not located in the Madison, Wisconsin area, I will ship the final collage to you in a proper shipping container.  That cost will be added to the final bill for the work.

There is no obligation to move forward after the consultation, so let’s talk even if you have only a rough idea of what you are looking for!
