Custom Art

A painting made for you,
from something that matters to you.

Not a reproduction. Not a print-to-order. A painting shaped by your story — a place you return to, a moment you want to keep, a feeling you want to live with every day.

 

What This Is — and Isn't

The commissions that work best involve sacred or atmospheric spaces, travel and memory, meaningful homes and places, symbolic compositions, and portraiture with emotional depth.

 

They start with emotional clarity, not a design brief. If you know how you want to feel when you look at it — the memory it should hold, the place it should take you — that's enough to begin. You don't need to know what the painting should look like. The best commissions often begin with a feeling and evolve through the design process.

 

The Process

01 — A Conversation

We start with your idea — a location, a memory, a mood, a story. Reference images are welcome. No fully-formed concept required. This conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

 

02 — Design Development

A non-refundable $200 design fee begins this phase — it ensures we're both serious before significant time is invested. It covers compositional exploration and up to two black-and-white sketches with one round of refinement. This fee is separate from the price of the painting itself and is not applied toward it.

 

03 — Final Direction and Agreement

Once we've confirmed a direction together, you'll receive final dimensions, pricing, timeline, and a formal agreement. A 50% deposit on the painting begins the work. The approved design is what I paint — it's the blueprint we've both signed off on.

 

04 — Painting and Delivery

Most commissioned paintings are completed within 60 days of the signed agreement. You'll receive progress updates throughout. Final payment is collected before delivery, and every piece ships with a certificate of authenticity.

Testimonials

"Jared brought my memories to life. Captured a moment in my life that brings back those feelings every time I look at the art."
— David S., Greenwood Village, CO

 

"After buying a non-commissioned piece from Jared and loving it, we decided to ask Jared to create a commissioned work for us. We had an idea for where the piece would go and some general ideas about theme, but not much else. Jared was a pleasure to work with. We met with him both at our home and in his studio during the process. He provided guidance but also incorporated our thoughts and ideas into the piece. He created a personalized and fantastic work of art that we enjoy every day. We’re looking forward to our next adventure with Jared."
— Keith and Nichole D., Denver, CO
