Custom Hand-Drawn Fine Art Commissions

Personal, hand-drawn Illustrations created to commemorate meaningful homes, cottages, and places.

About Custom Commissions

Custom illustrations are created by request and approached with the same care and craftsmanship as the Stoney Bend Prints Collection.

Commissions often commemorate homes, cottages, weddings, or places with personal meaning. Each piece is hand-drawn with careful attention to structure, light, and atmosphere to create a custom house portrait that feels timeless and intentional.

Availability varies throughout the year.

The Commission Process

The commission process is collaborative, clear, and intentionally unhurried --- honoring the significance of the place you love.

1. Submit Your Request

Simply use the custom request form to share a reference photo and a brief description of the home, cottage, or place you'd like illustrated.

Zero obligation when submitting requests.

2. Review & Timeline

I'll follow up to confirm scope, answer questions, and provide an estimated timeframe for your custom illustration.

Typically takes 2-4 weeks.

3. Creation & Review

Your illustration is hand-drawn using traditional tools. Once completed, I'll share the finished artwork for your review.

Getting it exactly right.

4. Selection & Delivery

After approving the completed artwork, you'll select your preferred Custom Bundle option. The final artwork is then prepared, framed, signed, and delivered ready to display.

To learn more about my approach and why I draw meaningful places, visit the Meet the Artist page. You can also explore the Custom Commission Collection to view examples of past commissioned work.
