Commissions

Portraits, Pets, Landscapes & More

Commissioned paintings are the perfect way to combine precious moments and loved ones with a unique piece of artwork. I've been working with clients all over Australia and from the USA to Singapore, turning their special memories and ideas into unique pieces of art that they can treasure for a lifetime.

How Does it Work?

Consultation

Got the perfect idea for your commission? Great! let's chat! Not quite sure about your idea yet? No worries! We can discuss different compositions and options.

Drying and Varnishing

Because I work in oils pieces can take several weeks to fully cure. Once varnished your piece will be ready to ship.

Mock-Up and Deposit

I will send you a mock-up of your piece for your review. Once approved you will receive an invoice for a deposit. Once the deposit is paid, I can start painting!

Shipping

Once the piece is finished, I will send you a photo for your review. Once you approve the piece and the balance is paid, your piece will be packaged with lots of love and shipped to you!

Painting

I love to share the painting process on social media so you can follow along.

Commission Spotlight

Diane and Fenton's Story

I met Rachel Grove at the Williamstown Craft Market. I purchased one of her prints, a beautiful colourful cockatoo I loved her use and eye for vibrant colour.

I then thought a commission done by her of a very much loved 8-year-old Bernese Mountain dog named Fenton owned by my daughter would be a very much loved Christmas present. We had our first meeting over lunch to discuss the commission and was delighted to have the conversation as to the personality of her subject.

The painting was completed and was just gorgeous but unfortunately there was the misfortune in that within half hour of delivery the artwork was stolen from the delivery point.

After getting over the shock of something like that happening Rachel did not hesitate to offer to do another painting of Fenton. Fenton is now very happily in the hands of a very pleased daughter. Rachel is a very talented and personable young lady and have recommended her without hesitation to family and friends for other commissions.

I wish Rachel all the best and may she continue to bring much joy via her gifted artistic talents.

My Clients Say...

"I commissioned Rachel to make a portrait for my best friend's birthday. Not only was she an absolute pleasure but she made the entire process so smooth and collaborative."
