Commission Custom Art

Let's create your one-of-a-kind dream painting

I would LOVE to work with you to create the perfect gift or heirloom painting.

Here is how my process works:

  1. Fill out the form below and tell me about your vision, your timeframe, and your budget. Feel free to reference paintings of mine that catch your eye. 

  2. I will reach out to you with pricing and sizing options, and will answer any questions you may have.

  3. I require a 50% non refundable deposit to begin work.

  4. I will send you a mood board with a rough sketch and colour swatches for your approval.

  5. I CREATE YOUR ARTWORK!

  6. Once complete, I will ship the artwork to you promptly upon receipt of the final payment.

A FEW PROMPTS FOR INSPIRATION

I work with a wonderful local woodshop to custom make my cradled wood panels. So, if you can dream it, we can make it!

If you have a specific size and/or orientation in mind for your custom art, please include it in the contact form below. If you aren't sure, let me know and I will be happy to work with you to determine the perfect dimensions and orientation for your space.

Here are the sizes I love most. I often have these panels in stock or on order, so they are a great place to start:

  • 36x48" horizontal like this, or vertical like this
  • 36" round like this
  • 36x36" square like this
  • 24x48" vertical like this, though this could easily be a cool horizontal piece behind a bed or over a dining table or console
  • 24x24" square like this
  • 12x24" vertical like this
  • 12x12" square like this

Are you dreaming of languid lionesses luxuriating in gold, or a statement-making botanical scene?

Are you drawn to moody, deep colours, or lighter, brighter neutrals?

As you can see from my Golden Hour collection, I work within a palette of rich colours that are relaxing for the eye.

Think about 1) what theme (animal, botanical, or more specific), 2) what colours from my other paintings (bone white, deep earthy purple, cinnamon, etc), and 3) what metal finish (gold, silver, even copper) resonate most with you, and what would compliment your decor.

If you aren't sure where to start - no worries! This is what I love to do, so just let me know and I will work with you to choose the perfect look for your space.

Seeing what you picture is a key part of the custom art process.

If you have reference or inspiration pictures to share with me, please email them to gillian@gillianlahav.com and mention that you have filled out the custom art form.

If you are commissioning a custom pet portrait, please include a few well-lit photos of your fur babe. Don't worry if they aren't the perfect photos yet - I will review them and ask for more if I need.

Pricing for commissions is similar to what you will see for the same sizes in my main collection.

Once I have all the info I need, I will send you a quote with a price that is based on the cost of materials and size of your custom art.

I know commissioning custom art is a special commitment, and my pricing will always be fair and transparent.
