Here you will see some examples of custom-order pieces I have done. Most are privately owned but some are
available for purchase. Take a look around and find ones that inspire you or your child. Are their certain features
you see in some of these pieces that you would like to see in your own canvas? Let me know & I can help you
create a piece that is a perfect match for you or your child, whatever their age. The sky is the limit here. Customorder
canvases are great for any age, infant to the young at heart. All sizes are available here. You can order one
as small as 4x6 to as large as 5 x 6 feet or larger!
These are also a great alterative to a mural. Sometimes people prefer the artwork to be able to move with them
from home to home or they would like to pass down the piece from one generation to the next. Canvases allow you
the freedom to do whatever you would like to do. There is no concern about having to leave the artwork behind
when you move or painting over the art if your child is ready to move to college. Also, you are free to move
furniture around the room without worrying about blocking the artwork because you can just move the artwork
around as well. Another advantage is these can be shipped to you whereas murals I need to complete on location.
So if you live in California you can still enjoy one of these pieces of artwork.
These canvases are great for any occasion. They can be a unique holiday or birthday gift. A way to welcome home
a newborn baby or to send off with your college bound young adult. Canvases are also ideal to help create a
soothing, fun environment in pediatric offices, pediatric hospitals or any place that services children young or old.
The main focus with these is flexibility, inspiration and creating a warm, happy environment to help inspire children
and those who care for children. The sky is the limit here.
These canvases are priced individually due to the wide range of options. The main things that affect pricing are: the
size of the canvas, the level of detail, the style chosen, whether or not you include your child’s portraiture in the
painting, and shipping costs. I will work with an budget so let me know if there is a price range you prefer to stay
within and I can work with you to make sure a piece is created that is representative of your needs and budget. No
project is too large or too small and all are welcome. So if you have any questions just contact me on my contact
page and I will work with you to create a piece of art that inspires & warms your child’s heart.

Murals are a great way to liven up any space, whether that is a bedroom, playroom, or waiting room at a childcentered
organization. Murals can be calming, energizing, inspiring, and just plain fun. Murals can cover the whole
wall or a small portion of a wall. They can be simple or detailed, soft or vibrant, for newborns or teenagers, for your
home or business. On this page you will see some examples of murals I have done at various locations for people
with all different interests. I am willing to work with any theme and will work with you to design the best mural for
your needs.
Pricing for murals varies with each project. Items that effect pricing include: size, level of detail, complexity, and
travel and parking costs if you are located over 20 miles from my area. If you are interested in looking into a mural
you can contact me on the contact page with any questions or comments you may have regarding a mural. I will
contact you to get a general feel for your needs and the size of the project. This will include contact via email or
phone and a visit to the location you are considering for the mural. Once that is complete I will sketch out some
ideas for you to look at and approve with a price cost. Once you approve and accept the cost and design you will
make a deposit for the project the day I start the mural. The final cost will be due once I complete the mural for
you. You and your children are welcome to watch the process. Children love watching a mural come to life and it is
a great way for them to learn about the world of art and all it has to offer and I love being a part of that process
with them.

Each child has their own style, interests, favorite colors, and name. These canvases are a great way to represent
each child as they would like the world to see them. No one child is the same & no one canvas is the same. These
canvases are a great way to represent that & celebrate the unique qualities of your own child. The dimensions of
these name canvases are 12 x 24 inches but any dimension is available.
When you order one of these canvases I will get info about the age of your child, the colors of their room, their
style, their hobbies and anything else that comes to mind. Anything is possible with these canvases. The main
focus is celebrating your child’s own unique identity. The artwork can be a simple patterned design or a detailed
piece of artwork, all of them with your child’s name painted on them. How do you think your child would represent
themselves on a name canvas? What are their favorite colors? Favorite things in life? Do they love sports?
Animals? Dragons? Fairies? Who do they want to be when they grow up?
PRICING:
SIMPLE BACKGROUND DESIGN: $65 + SHIPPING COSTS
MORE DETAILED DESIGN: $75 + SHIPPING COSTS
HIGH DETAILED DESIGN: $95 + SHIPPING COSTS
