How to Commission Work
The creation of an original piece is an intimate and interactive process.
We feel it is equally important for you to understand the process and for us to understand what
you are looking for. Though there is a process, there are no hard and fast rules. When working
with designers we often take a concept or rough drawing and develop several design mock-ups
incorporating specific colors and sizes to fit the finished environment.
The free flow of ideas, facts and feelings are essential to the evolution of a commission.
Initial Contact
This is where we first get to know each other. One of the best ways to get to know our work and us
is through this website. Take some time to look at our images and get an idea of our styles.
Although what you see here represents what we've done, it is not the extent of our work since
each commission is unique. If our work is something you are interested in, contact us and we
can discuss the details and we can give you an idea of our current work schedule.
Consultation
The nature of the consultation will depend on your location. If possible, we like to visit your
area to see where the work will be and get an idea of your personal tastes. We can also do this
from a distance via phone, fax and e-mail. The point here is for us to develop the rapport we need
to design a piece that is right for you. We will be making a piece of art that you and your family
or company will live and interact with for generations. We want this to be more than something you
simply look at. We want it to enrich the lives of those who experience it.
