Commissions

I'm always incredibly honored to take on private commissions for my wonderful collectors. Recently, I had the privilege of working with two clients who found my work unforgettable, even years later.

One couple had seen my art online a decade ago, and though they couldn’t remember my name, they spent six months reverse-searching online until they tracked me down on social media. After discussing colors, favorite artworks of mine, and placement in their home, I had full creative freedom—a dream commission. The result, 'Ephemeral', now resides in its forever home with extremely happy collectors in Christchurch.

Another recent commission came from a client who saw my work eight years ago at an art show. When their grandmother passed, they used part of the inheritance to honor her with a piece inspired by the family farm, painted in her favorite colors. The piece, 'Betty’s Branches', will be passed down through the family—a profound tribute that was an absolute joy to create.

Knowing my work has left a long lasting impression on people is the highest compliment an artist can receive.

If you have a special idea in mind, please reach out—I’d love to bring it to life in a way that will make your home feel truly unique.

The Commission Proccess

Ideally, your commissioned piece will align with my painting style. For inspiration, feel free to browse my previous works here.

We can discuss your ideal commission via a live Zoom studio visit or, if you prefer, through email.

Once we’ve finalized the details and a 20% deposit is received, I’ll begin, with a turnaround time of approximately 3-4 weeks plus shipping. I’ll keep you updated with weekly progress photos, so you’re always in the loop.

Pricing is based on my current rate of NZD $4000 per m². Please reach out with any questions—I’d love to discuss your new artwork ideas!

Some Commission Testimonials / Feedback

G Gibson, Christchurch - 'As I write this I am standing in front of our fire and admiring the painting - it still brings a smile to my face every day, and always garners comments when art lovers come to visit.

I first became aware of Alex and her work around 2011 and somehow that first impression stayed with me. Fast forward to 2021, and I was delighted to have ‘rediscovered’ her to discuss a commission. I could just sense from my first interactions with Alex that our project was going to be a success. Her communication is friendly and transparent. She listened carefully to our brief, and was very helpful with giving information on her process, and providing feedback and updates as we went.

From concept through to completion, the commission process was very smooth, and I have to say we could not be happier with the result. Our piece sits proudly in our living room. It still brings a smile to my face every time I glance upon it, and instantly transports me into the mountains. Her art is captivating.'

E Calvert, Auckland - 'It’s beautiful, Alex! Thank you, we love it. So exciting to see it in person and hang it up to brighten our every day! What a great winter addition to our home! Again, thank you so much, Alex!'

I secretly (not so secretly!) hope we can do this again sometime in the future! Love your work and loved communicating with you. It's been a pleasure all round!'
