Commissions

I'm always honoured to take on private commissions, especially when they come with meaningful stories.

One couple spent six months tracking me down after seeing my work online over a decade ago — they couldn’t remember my name, but never forgot the painting. After chatting about colours, their favourite peice and their space, they gave me full creative freedom. The result, Ephemeral, now lives happily in their Christchurch home.

Another client reached out eight years after seeing my work at a show. When her grandmother passed, she used part of her inheritance to commission Betty’s Branches, a piece inspired by the family farm and painted in her grandmother’s favourite colours. It’s now a treasured heirloom that I've been told will be passed down through generations.

Knowing my work stays in people's minds for years is the greatest compliment!

If you have a special idea you’d like to bring to life, I’d love to create something truly meaningful and unique. A one-of-a-kind statement artwork just for you.

Just reach out on my contact page to start a no obligation discussion. I'd love to hear from you!

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.

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!'

M Davies, Sydney – ‘It's amazing! Thank you so much, I love it!!

M Davies, Christchurch – (A lovely email received 2 years after the commission) ‘I've actually just moved back to Christchurch which is fantastic, my things are on their way and after 8 months without them I've realised the painting you did for me is one of my prized possessions, can't wait to have it here soon.’
