Commission a Painting


Bring a little joy to your walls or someone else's.

I create custom paintings filled with warmth, whimsy, and personality. Whether it’s a proud baking achievement, a meaningful portrait, a scene from a favorite film, or a memory from a beloved place, my goal is always the same: to make something that feels like a good moment, bottled up in color and light.

What I Paint

Each painting is hand-painted with care and love.

You can commission:

  • Food portraits (your go-to coffee order, a wedding cake, your grandma’s recipe brought to life)
  • Custom travel scenes (honeymoon view, hometown street corner, that perfect bakery in Paris)
  • Lively portraits (of people, pets, or both!)
  • Still life scenes that reflect your story or home
  • Unforgettable scenes from a favorite film or tv show

If you have an idea that doesn't quite fit into a category — I’d still love to hear it.

How It Works

  1. Reach out with your idea: Fill out the form below and share as much as you can — photos, memories, a vibe.

  2. I’ll follow up: confirm details, timeline, and pricing, and make sure we’re on the same page.

  3. You get a one-of-a-kind piece: Once approved, I’ll get painting! You’ll receive a beautiful original (and a digital scan if you'd like it, too).

Pricing

Prices vary depending on size and complexity, but generally start at €150 for small pieces (roughly 60cm/24in on one side or smaller). I’ll always provide a quote before we begin.

Timeline

Most paintings take 3–5 weeks from the time we finalize your idea.

Please note: Oil paintings need time to fully dry before they can be varnished and this often takes several months. If you need the painting by a certain date, I may need to deliver it unvarnished. Varnish can always be added later (by me or a local framer) once the piece is fully cured.

Need it by a specific deadline? Let me know — I’ll do my best to make it work!
