Commissions
If you're looking for a unique piece in a specific size, color palette, or theme, I’d love to create a one-of-a-kind commission for you! I can customize a painting based on one of my previous works or bring your vision to life with a fresh composition tailored to your space.
I also work from photographs—using them as inspiration rather than direct replication. You’re welcome to share reference images or details about what you're drawn to, keeping in mind that I paint in my own signature style. The best results come when there’s creative flexibility, so it’s important to keep an open mind rather than aiming for an exact replica of an image.
The Process
Step 1: Reach Out
To get started on a custom piece, send an email via the form below with any reference photos, colour preferences, the dimensions you have in mind, or a photo of the space where the piece will live. Not sure what size would work best or what fits your budget? I’ll gladly help you figure it out.
Step 2: Confirm & Deposit
Once all the details are confirmed, you’ll receive a simple contract to sign. A 30% non-refundable deposit is required to lock in your commission.
Step 3: Creation & Completion: I’ll then create a mood board to ensure we're aligned on the aesthetic and overall vision. Throughout the process, I’ll keep you updated with progress photos, so you’re involved in the journey from start to finish.
When the piece is complete, the remaining balance is due, and we’ll coordinate pickup, delivery, or shipping.
*If for any reason you decide not to move forward with the painting, your deposit can be applied to any products on my website.
I look forward to hearing from you!

"Working with Alexandria was an incredible experience! We fell in love with her original painting of the Three Sisters at the Art Walk and wanted a larger version with a few personal touches that were special to my husband and I. She not only brought our vision to life but exceeded our expectations. Her communication was excellent, and she kept us involved in her process every step of the way. On top of that, she is such a kind soul. We will definitely be collecting more of her work in the future. Thank you so much, Alex!"

“Trusting in Alex with this very very special and personal piece felt like a no brainer. Her work is profoundly unique, articulate and magic in a way that makes these familiar objects — mountains — feel wildly personal and intricate. To provide a simple vision of a gift I dreamt of creating, and to receive the outcome of something that will be cherished for years… it was an emotional and special journey in art. Thank you for your empathy and kindness, friend! I loved gifting this piece.”

“I commissioned Alexandria to paint a stunning mountain range in the Yukon that she had never seen before. You would never know this based on the painting she created. Every last detail was noticed. She provided me with updates and was open to feedback. The piece was finished in the time frame she promised and I would happily refer her to anyone who has an appreciation for mountain and nature inspired artwork.”

“We thought long and hard about where to get our first custom piece of artwork and couldn’t be happier with the incredible custom portrait Alexandria created for us. It depicts a very special place that holds deep meaning for our family, making it the perfect addition to our home.
Alexandria was fantastic to work with—she kept us updated throughout the process and made the entire experience enjoyable. Not to mention that her talent shines through in every detail of the painting, beautifully capturing the essence and emotion of the scene – the details in the clouds are our favourite. We’re so grateful for her creativity and professionalism, and we’ll treasure this meaningful masterpiece forever. Thank you, Alexandria!
