Commission a work

A commission is an invitation to make something specifically for you — for your space, your story, or someone you want to give something meaningful to.

I work in archival ink on paper, occasionally with watercolour and acrylics, in the monochrome language that runs through all of my work. Each commission begins with a conversation — about the space the work will live in, what you're drawn to, and what you'd like the piece to hold. From there I work the way I always do, with your brief as the anchor.

Standard commission sizes start at A3 — smaller works available on request.

A3 — 30 × 42 cm (12 × 16 in) — from $960 (R18,000)
A2 — 42 × 59 cm (16 × 23 in) — from $1,500 (R28,000)
A1 — 59 × 84 cm (23 × 33 in) — from $2,400 (R45,000)
Larger works available on enquiry.

Every commission is a one-of-a-kind original, signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Turnaround is typically 3–6 weeks from briefing, depending on complexity and current workload.

Every commission is a one-of-a-kind original, signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. A deposit of 25–50% secures your place in the schedule (Wise USD invoice for international clients, local transfer for South African). Turnaround is typically 3–6 weeks from briefing, depending on complexity and current workload. The balance falls due on completion, before the work ships.

Before you write — three things that help me understand what you're looking for:

What feeling do you want the work to hold — or what is the space it will live in?

Is there a specific work of mine you're drawn to, or a quality in my practice that resonates with you?

Is there anything else you'd like me to know — a size, a timeline, or something about the person this is for?
