Commissioning art takes you on a rather unexpected and fulfilling journey.
It allows you to be involved and part of a process in the creation of artwork that you will own. Concerns about it being too expensive a process or one that you will have little control over are soon alleviated as you discover it is a process that is affordable and one that I will keep you fully updated about as your artwork progresses to completion.
