“A fine work of art . . . has the power to silence the chatter in the mind and lift us to another place.”
― Robert McKee
This is the most recent commission I've completed. I worked with my client to create these three magnificent pieces. It was a wonderful process that transformed quite a bit as the journey unfolded.
Commissions are an amazing opportunity for me to create a custom work of art designed to connect you to a moment, a place, a person, a thing, or an emotion that delights and inspires you. It can help you stay focused on what you want to manifest in your life. I experience this process as a gift for both of us.
The process begins with a conversation in person or on zoom. We’ll discuss what sparked your interest in my work, what resonates with you, and what your ideas are. Look at my website and Instagram feed to see the variety of styles and subjects I've created thus far. I'm confident that I can bring anything to life for you. With my extensive training, I can produce any style of work you desire. Give me a challenge, and I'll exceed your expectations. I love teasing out your ideas and bringing them to life on canvas. Often people come to me with a specific concept, and after our conversation, they are filled with greater clarity and sometimes a new direction. I'll ask you a host of questions to uncover your true desires, including but not limited to the following:
• What makes you happiest
• Your most joyful moments
• Your biggest challenges
• Colors that you love and colors you resist
• What you want to manifest in your life
• Your favorite uplifting music
• What, if anything, resonates with you
spiritually
• Your preferred size and proportions
• Your budget
If you are unclear about your choice of subject matter I'll walk you through an additional process to help us reveal the perfect image for your painting
I make magic with my work. A blank canvas holds the promise of inspiration, intuitive guidance, and pure possibility. I'm one with the Universe, creating with love. How freakin' cool is that?!
These are three of the sketches I created for the above project. I worked with my client to uncover her favorite colors and textures. I learned about her happiest moments and biggest challenges. I listened to her favorite music while I created her commission. I focused on what she wants to manifest in her life. Together we created a piece of art that connects her to her soul. It’s magnificent work and I am abundantly grateful.
To begin the process I meditate on your desires. Your playlist is cued up to help me embody your spirit while I create your piece. You'll see a round of color sketches to make sure I'm in sync with your vision. Next, I'll prep your canvas by clearing the energy with Paolo Santos and Reiki. I stir love into each color as I mix the paint. My focus stays on your desires. Confident that our initial work, together, will guide me to create the perfect piece of art to lift your spirit and fill you with delight. I eagerly proceed to see what it will become. With no judgment, I just let it flow. It is essential to me that you are thrilled with the finished piece. When I see those tears of joy I know I've done my job well.

Have a beautiful couple weeks.
Love,
Leslie
