revelatorART: commissioned work

I am a full time working studio artist. I create paintings in my art studio to be sold. One of the main ways I do this is to do commissioned work that I am hired for.

What is commissioned work? Commissioned work is when a client hires me to design and create a painting specifically to their liking. This is one of the oldest ways an artist gains income (think Michelangelo and DaVinci).

How does commissioned work, work? Let's say you are the client and you want to hire me to do a painting for your living room or your office. We would sit down and talk about what you might want me to create for you. Possible subject matter? Color scheme choices? Any specific details desired? Canvas size preference? Medium preference? Etc. Some clients have very specific details in what they want me to create. Other clients don't care so much in the details. Once we agree on something we would sign a contract together designating those specifics, the cost, and the deadline. I require half of the cost upfront at the time of contract signing, so negotiations can take however long they need to. Once the contract is signed and money is exchanged...then I get to work.

What kind of work can I do?

*abstract expressionist mixed media paintings

*impressionist oil landscapes and still life

*realist graphite, ink, or charcoal/chalk portraits, landscapes, and still life

*ink tattoo design

*wall murals in latex house paints

*music cd cover artwork

And I can paint on just about any surface (canvas, wood, cardboard, paper, books, guitars, cases, walls, doors, etc.)

I do charge specific prices by size of canvas. You can see those prices on "my prices" page tabbed at top. 6% Idaho sales tax is added to all sales. If the size you want isn't listed...let's talk.

If you are interested in commissioning me to do a piece for you, please contact me at: revelatorart@yahoo.com

walking through walls and the creative conversation

I believe art is a language that transcends all language barriers. It's able to get past the walls of cultural differences, age, race, gender, religion, politics, economic standing, education, distance, even time. Creativity is like a conversation. There are conversations going on all the time. Conversations with the artist and the work, with the artist and the Divine, with the artist and nature, with the artist and humankind, with the artist and self. Creativity allows me to come alongside others and enter into the conversations that are already happening. I love listening to conversations. If I'm invited into the conversations this brings about collaboration. Collaboration is an invitation to the sharing of ideas and it's a huge part of building relationship. I believe humankind is a relational people. We need each other. I believe we were created that way by a creative God who is all about relationship with us. And I believe we've been given creativity as a language to relate to each other with. When we connect into the conversation through creativity and allow for collaboration, we are helping to build community together and this fosters relationship. And the walls become invisible between us.

what others are saying about me:

"I love watching her audience as Lisa paints before their eyes. When she's done, people come up and take pictures, and many spontaneously share the meaning the art has for them personally, often in tears. Lisa's artwork is beyond profound; she's in tune with people's spirits."

-Jessie Nilo, Director of VineArts

"Lisa is so strong, and she knows so many techniques and so many people. In all that she does, she exposes people's hearts and opens them up. It's very comforting to have a friend like Lisa."

-Lukas Evergreen, performing artist
