I absolutely love, love, when a potential buyer reaches out to me and hires me to do a private commission for either them or for a loved one! Why? One, I love that they place their trust in me to be able to deliver a piece of artwork and curtail it especially to their desires, needs, and wants. Let’s face it-artwork is subjective! And two and this is for selfish reasons, it offers me the ability to step outside my comfort zone and create something new and exciting that I wouldn’t ordinarily do in my day-to-day art making.


There is nothing more rewarding than when they receive their final artwork and to be able to see the expressions on their faces when I have, as one past client stated, “Nailed it!”- LOL; or to hear about it when they send me a special note “thanking me”! It simply stated, “Warms my heart and soul”!


If you are interested in hiring me to do a private commission, please feel free to reach out to me via e-mail: yearn4expression@aol.com. Don’t forget to make note of this in the e-mail by using: “Private Commission” as your subject line. This helps to avoid your e-mail not making it past the good ole filters set up on my e-mail account. You can also find a form located on my “Contact” page to fill in as well. I would be more than delighted to discuss the arrangements and details and fashion an original piece of art made just for you! Below are some examples of these pieces created!
