The Commission Process
Let’s co-create a custom piece together
The first step in the commission process is determining where you are going to put a beautiful piece of art, and measure that space. This is because before I can begin painting, I need to know how big of a canvas to start with.
The second step is picking a selfie that I can use as reference. If you are stuck between a couple of options, you can send them to me and I can choose, or if necessary, we can mash up two similar photos together to get the best of both.
Finally, pick a photo that I will use as color inspiration for the abstraction. This can be a photo of anything, including other pieces of art. I won’t copy the style, but I will use those colors as the background of the piece.
With all this in place, I can begin painting. I’ll send you an invoice and get started on your piece. I’ll freestyle an abstract background with your colors and then paint the portrait on top, merging the two into one killer composition.

“After following Angela on social media and appreciating her work, I commissioned her for a portrait of my husband to give him for his birthday. He’s a bass player in a local jazz band and I sent her a photo of him playing in a small club. Angela captured his spirit and passion for music perfectly and I was so pleased. My husband was absolutely thrilled and tickled to receive this vibrant portrait and it hangs on our wall near his chair today. It’s my favorite gift I’ve ever given him!”
