Commission a Private Portrait

Commission a Private Portrait

Chris accepts a limited number of private commissions each year.

Each project begins with a personal conversation to fully understand the subject, atmosphere, and intention behind the artwork. Whether you are commissioning a beloved pet, a horse, a wild animal, or a human portrait, the goal is always the same: to create a painting that carries presence.
