COMMISSIONS
Threshold
Commissions
Commissioned paintings for life transitions,
personal chapters, and moments of becoming.
A Threshold Commission is an original painting created around a significant passage in life; motherhood, grief, illness, recovery, separation, reinvention, relocation, marriage, legacy, or a new era.
These works give form to what is shifting beneath the surface. They hold what words cannot. They become anchors for the chapter you are moving through, and the one that is emerging.
A painting for the space between what was and what is becoming.
It can mark a life passage.
It can hold memory
and absence.
It can translate inner
change into form
It can honour a
beginning, ending, or return.
Who this is for
Motherhood
Grief and remembrance
Illness and recovery
Reinvention
Separation and ending
Relocation and belonging
Marriage or new family chapters
Legacy
How the commission is created
Each Threshold Commission is shaped through a collaborative and intuitive process. While every journey is unique, the creation of your painting may include:
conversation
photographs or personal references
colours / symbols / objects
written fragments
memories or places
body / gesture / movement references
a studio visit or shared painter-led moment when relevant
painterly translation in the studio

The process
1.
Inquiry
You send a few words about the transition, chapter, or moment you would like the painting to hold.
2.
Conversation
We meet online or in person to explore the atmosphere, meaning, context, scale, and possible direction of the commission.
3.
Proposal
You receive a clear proposal with size, medium, timeline, investment, and process outline.
4.
Gathering
I gather the references, images, words, colours, symbols, or materials that may inform the work.
5.
Studio work
I create the painting in the studio. Depending on the commission, I may share selected process glimpses.
6.
Completion
The finished work is presented, documented, and prepared for collection, delivery, or installation.
