| How Do I Commission
A Map ?
Mapsare beautiful representations of a person's journeys, discoveries and dreams. Each map is hand-painted on canvas. I work with each client to come up with the ideal map to showcase their trip. I include any details that make the location special for the client, such as hiking routes, dates, names, illustrations from souvenirs, etc. They are accurate depictions of the location, with added historical details. All correspondence is usually done over the phone or via e-mail, but a studio visit can be arranged for anyone in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area. After initial discussions, I make a sketch of the final layout for approval by the client. It then takes three to four weeks for completion of the painted map. The paintings may be displayed in a variety of ways, from framing, to being hung from wood rods, which has been a typical way to display maps throughout history. They are an ideal gift for a wedding or anniversary, for the traveler who has everything, and as a bold art work for the home or office. Sizes
vary, depending on the client's wishes, but a typical map is approximately
3 ft by 2 ft.
To get started, simply email or call me with information about the location of which you would like to have a map. I can answer any questions you may have and discuss all possibilities of creating the perfect map to celebrate your travels. Also Available For Book Illustrations
& Wall Murals.
