4 Steps in creating a commissioned piece :

1) A commissioned art process begins by meeting with the client to "brainstorm" ideas, develop concepts and determine budget.
2) Sketches, if required, are produced and dimensions and colours are determined.
3) Approval if needed on final drawings and final cost quotes are provided before the piece is started and viewing is arranged near completion. Deposit of 25% is obtained to begin to help cover material costs.4) Delivery and hanging of the completed piece finalizes the process.

Time to Completion :

The time it takes for completion of a commissioned piece depends on a few factors - the size, complexity of the piece, and the artist's current job schedule. Generally speaking, turnover rate for a custom piece is relatively quick - usually within a few weeks to a month of final approval barring unusual circumstances. Shipping time should also be considered if outside the Winnipeg area.

Rates/Cost :

The costs associated with a commissioned piece depends upon time put into the piece. Time is affected directly by the size, complexity of the piece, and materials involved. Of course, the clients budget is also taken into consideration from the initial planning phase. Shipping costs will be added if shipping is required.

Shipping :

If you are unable to pick up your commissioned art piece at the artist's studio, shipping can be arranged. Once the artwork is securely and properly packed for shipping, it can be sent anywhere in the world. This cost would be added to the cost of the piece. Any other special arrangements can be made through the artist.
