How a Commission Works
A commissioned piece is a collaboration. From the first idea to the finished artwork, Claire takes the time to understand what makes the subject meaningful and find the right way to bring it to life.
01
Share the Idea
Start with your idea, photographs, references, and anything else that helps tell the story behind the subject.
02
Find the Direction
Claire works with you to explore the style, format, mood, composition, and how the artwork might be used.
03
Shape the Concept
Before creating the final piece, Claire develops a sketch, mockup, or composition for you to review and refine together.
04
Create the Original
Once the direction feels right, Claire creates the finished artwork by hand, bringing the idea into its final form.
05
Take It Further
Depending on the project, the artwork can become more than a single original — from cards and stationery to prints, patches, gifts, or other personalized pieces.
Let’s Make Something Together
Have an idea for a custom piece?
Tell Claire a little about it — who or what you’d like to celebrate, what you have in mind, and how you imagine the finished artwork being used. There’s no need to have everything figured out just yet.
Thanks!
