Contact Form
Fill out the commission request form below. Please include as much information as possible. What is the project for? Are you looking for photography services or an original painting?

Artist Pitch
Once Michelle receives your request for commission, she will review your notes and follow up with any questions. Michelle reserves the right to reject any commission request for any reason. Her preliminary pitch will include a general concept [idea], an estimated artist's fee, and an anticipated timeline needed to complete the project.
3
Deposite & Deliberate
Based on an agreed concept, fee, and timeline, you will receive a retainer request to begin the project. Michelle will not begin work on your commissioned project until this non-refundable retainer is received. Once the retainer for your project is received, she will begin creative ideation and sketch-making or mood-boarding. The timeline to complete your commissioned project will begin once the final concept is approved by all.
