Commission a painting

An original artwork created specifically for you, your space and your story.

From private collections to commercial interiors and cultural collaborations, I create original paintings in response to the people, places and stories they belong to.

ENQUIRE ABOUT A COMMISSION

What is a commission?

A commissioned painting is an opportunity to create something that does not exist anywhere else - an original work made specifically for you.

We begin with a conversation about your space, the scale you are looking for and anything that inspires you, from colour and atmosphere to a particular feeling or story.

From there, I take the creative lead, allowing the painting to develop intuitively in my studio. You don't need to know exactly what you want.

My role is to guide the process and create a painting that feels uniquely yours.

Every commission is unique

No two commissions are the same. Each artwork is created specifically for you, your space and the feeling you want it to hold.

SIZE AND SCALE

From intimate pieces to large-scale statement works, we'll find the size that works beautifully in your space.

COLOUR

Share colours or an atmosphere you love, or leave the palette entirely to me and allow it to emerge intuitively.

MATERIALS

I work primarily in acrylic and mixed media on canvas, building layers of colour, texture and expressive mark-making.

THE PROCESS

Once the practical details are agreed, I take the creative lead allowing the artwork to develop intuitively through colour, movement and energy.

You don't need to know exactly what you want. That's part of the process.

From idea to original artwork

01 CONVERSATION

We begin with a conversation about your space, what you're drawn to and what you'd like the artwork to bring into it.

02 DIRECTION

We agree the size, orientation and any colour considerations. I'll guide you through the options.

03 CREATION

I take the agreed direction into the studio and create the painting intuitively, allowing the artwork to evolve organically.

04 REVEAL

Your finished artwork is professionally prepared and carefully packaged before making its way to you.

We gave Vicky the colour scheme of fabrics as a starting point and asked her to create a centrepiece for the room. My client is absolutely delighted and loves her new artwork. Rachel Jones Interiors
