Custom Art & Design Services
Commissioned Fine Art
I do custom fine art commissions where I deliberate with you one on one to ensure I can best capture what you have in mind. I spend days to weeks painting/drawing each one with the utmost care and attention, and it is best to allow at least 3-8 weeks for completion. Prices start at $300 USD depending on size and level of detail.
Custom Image Design
Custom images for books, presentations, courses, billboards, and other projects are made in stunning black and white or breathtaking color. Styles include photo collage, line drawings, digital paintings, and hybrids. This type of art normally takes me 1-8 hours to complete. Prices start at $50 USD depending on size and level of detail.
Illustrations
I work with you so we can get your vision for your project out of your head and into the world. Let me help you communicate visually and bring your inner world to life in black and white or color. Prices start at $100 USD depending on size and level of detail. Bulk rates available for multiple images for books or other larger projects.

Recent Commissioned Mural Project
It took a while to paint all the details, but Alain Bulldor Bonane (my former UNFPA digital media student ) and I completed our Malawian patch-like chitenje patterns on this 3D “Be Kind” metal sculpture. This mural was created for BMIS International School and it celebrates everything we love about Malawi. Made with love by one expat and one refugee. Zikomo Malawi!

“The Be Kind sign is a real piece of art. Every time I look at it, I discover some new pictures that I didn’t notice before. I love all the colors and how the patterns and animals work together in pure harmony. It is a real gift that you did this for us and such an amazing thing to leave behind. Thank you for all of your passion and for having worked on the Be Kind sign with so much care, thoughtfulness and patience. It is absolutely magnificent.” -Eloïse Engel, Head of Primary, Bishop McKenzie International School, Lilongwe, Malawi
