Commission a Work of Art

Sometimes you just want something personal, and I’m here for it.

Whether it’s for a special someone in your life, a specific spot in your home, a business, or any other space that you want to enrich with original artwork, I’m interested in your idea. Let’s chat and determine whether we can work together to create something you’ll cherish.

How It Works

Here’s how a typical project goes, step by step:

  1. You’ll email me at danimichauxart@gmail.com to initiate the conversation. This email can include a lot of specific details, or it can be more vague. You could even say, “I know I want something, but I’m not sure what yet!” Either way, I’m happy to work through it with you.

  2. If necessary, we gain further clarity on the project. I may ask you questions and you may ask me questions. We can build a rapport and get to know each other a bit, too!

  3. I send you a quote for your approval.

  4. When you approve the quote, I send you a simple Art Commission Agreement to sign and return to me.

  5. A 50% depost will be due at the start of the project. Once I receive the initial deposit, I will begin the project.

  6. As I work on the project, I will keep you informed on my progress based on the Art Commission Agreement.

  7. When the project is complete, I will provide a final update and arrange for shipping or delivery.

  8. The final deposit will be due, which will include the remaining 50% of the commission plus the cost of shipping (if applicable).

  9. The work is received by you, and the process is complete! Hooray!

    • If I’m personally delivering the piece, I may be able to assist in installation. If the work is being shipped to you, then you will be responsible for installation.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to help.

Before We Start

Here are some things to think about:

  • What type of object would you like?

    • I can create a mixed media painting, a collage, or a textile wall hanging.

      • A mixed media painting is typically on cradled wood panel, and it can include painted, drawn, and/or printed elements in addition to collage elements.

      • A collage can either be on wood panel, mat board, or card stock, and the imagery is made almost entirely of collage elements.

      • A textile wall hanging is made entirely of fabric and stitching. It is typically unstretched, and will be hung loosley on the wall, like a tapestry, with a dowel or rod pocket along the top.

  • Do you have a concept?

    • I will only create work that aligns with my current style and process. I reserve the right to respectfully decline any projects that I feel are not a good match.

      • I will not accept requests to recreate or mimic another artist’s style. I trust that you are here because you are interested in my work ☺️

  • Are there any existing works at Calico Flower Studio that you like?

  • Do you have a color scheme in mind?

  • Where do you intend to display the piece?

  • Do you have a specific budget for this project?

  • Do you have a deadline?

    • If you have a deadline, make sure we get the ball rolling at least (1) month beforehand. Larger projects may require more time, so the earlier the better!

  • Does the project need to be shipped to you?

    • I work out of my home in Los Angeles, CA.

    • If the project has to be shipped, then you will be responsible for the cost of shipping.

If you have any questions or need any guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to help.
