How Commissions Work
A clear, deliberate process designed around meaning, accuracy, and presentation.
Overview
Each commissioned piece begins with a short inquiry to determine whether the project is a good fit in scope, timeline, and intent.
I work with collectors, military units, and institutions to create one-of-one display pieces developed deliberately from concept to final presentation.
STEP 1
Inquiry
The process begins with a short commission inquiry outlining the purpose, scope, and timeline of the project. This helps determine whether the project is a good fit.
STEP 2
Review & Consultation
If the inquiry is a good fit, I’ll follow up to discuss the concept, level of customization, and overall direction. At this stage, scope and investment range are confirmed.
STEP 3
Design & Build
Once approved, the project moves into development. Each piece is built deliberately from research and composition to painting, terrain, and detailing. Updates are shared at key milestones.
STEP 4
Final Presentation
The completed piece is finished and prepared for display. Depending on the project, this may include a custom base, display case, or plaque to ensure it is presentation-ready.
