Why Commission?

Commissioning an original painting means that you can have created exactly what you are looking for, rather than having to shop around for something that works.  Choose the exact size and color palette to fit your space like a glove.  By discussing your preferences for colors, textures, and overall feel you want the piece to evoke with Martha, you can have a work that perfectly complements the feeling you desire in your surroundings.

Some Thoughts About Our Collaboration

Martha enjoys creating a piece that incorporates your vision – including your preferred subject matter and color palette.  In order for you to have the best results, that will come when you trust in her artistic process.

Think of it like dining at a fine restaurant. You might request a seafood dish with Mediterranean flavors, but you'd trust the chef to work their magic rather than dictating each ingredient and technique. When artists have the freedom to interpret and create, they can tap into their expertise and often exceed expectations in ways neither of us might have imagined.

Your input provides the crucial foundation and inspiration. From there, her experience with composition, technique, and artistic intuition will bring the piece to life in a way that's both authentic and aligned with your wishes.

Looking forward to creating something extraordinary together!

Client Review:

Martha was delightful to work with in every way.  She asked me questions to be sure she fully understood what I wanted in my painting, she gave me several rough drafts as we got closer to the perfect result, she was flexible and open all along the way and even came to my home to see the surrounding space where the painting would live.  I couldn't recommend her more.  A.
