What I Make

Wedding Invitations & Stationery

Hand-illustrated invitations as one-of-a-kind as the two of you. We’ll start with a conversation about the look and feel you love. Then I’ll share mockups and refine them with your feedback until the design is just right for your big day.
From $350 for the design; printing quoted by quantity.

Pet Portraits

Your pets aren’t just pets; they’re family. Don’t they deserve a spot on your mantel? I’ll capture their personality and spirit in a way a photo can’t, so you have a keepsake you’ll treasure.
From $175.

Home, Farm & Building Portraits

Celebrate a place that matters to you: your first home, the family farm, or a building that holds a special memory. I’ll draw it digitally and deliver a high-resolution file, ready to print and give as a gift or keep for years to come.
From $225.

Custom Gifts

Have another idea? Art for a nursery, a housewarming gift for a friend, an anniversary surprise for your spouse? Tell me about it. I’d love to help bring it to life.
Priced per project; I’ll send you a quote.

Questions

General

Fill out the inquiry form at the bottom of this page with your idea and when you need it. I’ll reply within 2 business days with any questions, a quote and a timeline.

Every commission is created digitally, and your quote covers the final high-resolution digital file. Want it printed or framed? Let’s talk. I’m happy to help when I can, but printing and framing are quoted separately and add time to delivery. Let me know as early as possible, ideally at our first consultation, so we can plan your timeline together.

Once you approve your quote, I’ll email you a secure invoice for a 50% deposit to reserve your spot. The balance is due when you approve the final art, before it prints and ships. The deposit is nonrefundable once I’ve started sketching.

Every commission includes two rounds of changes at the sketch stage, when changes are easiest. Extra rounds, or big changes after you’ve approved the sketch, may add to the price. I’ll always tell you before anything costs more.

Pet portraits usually take 2-3 weeks, and home portraits 3-4 weeks from approved quote to final file. Printing adds time. Wedding invitations take longer; see that section below. Need it sooner? Ask about a rush. When my schedule allows, I can take one for an added fee.

To have your commission ready for the holidays, book by Friday, November 13, 2026. Commissions booked after that will start in January. Short on time? A gift card makes a great "IOU" under the tree.

Yes! Buy a Never Bored gift card for any occasion and the recipient can put it toward the commission of their choice.

Your final art arrives by email as a high-resolution digital file. If you’ve added printing, prints ship flat in a rigid mailer from Sharon Springs, NY, or directly from a third-party printer, if we have agreed on that route.

I love sharing finished work on my site and Instagram, but I’ll always ask first, and surprise gifts stay secret until they’re given. The art is yours to display and enjoy. I keep the copyright, so please ask before reproducing it for sale or business use.

Pet portraits

Clear, well-lit photos taken at your pet’s eye level, ideally in natural light. Send several: a close-up of the face, a full-body shot, and one that shows their markings. Phone photos are perfect. If your files are large, just reply to my email with them.

Absolutely, and it’s an honor. Send whatever photos you have, even old or blurry ones, and tell me about their personality. I’ll work from all of them together.

Yes. The starting price covers one pet on a simple background. Each additional pet is $75, and detailed backgrounds are quoted with your project.

Your file prints beautifully at standard sizes like 8x10 and 11x14. Want it bigger, or printed for you? Mention it in your inquiry and I’ll include it in your quote.

Home, farm, and building portraits

I draw your portrait digitally and deliver a high-resolution file that prints beautifully at 8x10. Printing is available on request.

A straight-on daytime photo of the front, plus a few other angles and close-ups of details you love, like the porch, the barn sign or the garden. If the building is gone or far away, old photos or a Google Street View screenshot work too.

Yes. A pet on the porch, snow or fall leaves, or a family name and year along the bottom can all be added. Mention it in your inquiry and I’ll include it in your quote.

Yes! Storefronts, farms, inns and barns are some of my favorite subjects. If you’d like to use the art for your business, on signs, cards or your website, let me know so I can include those usage rights in your quote.

Wedding invitations

About 6 months before your wedding. Invitations usually go in the mail 6-8 weeks before the date, and design plus printing takes 8-10 weeks. If you’d also like save-the-dates, start sooner.

The design of a one-sided 5x7 invitation with a custom illustration, plus a consultation, mockups, two rounds of changes and print-ready files. Printing is quoted separately, based on your quantity.

Your venue, a place that’s meaningful to you both, your pets, your florals, or a favorite local landmark. Tell me what you’re picturing and I’ll sketch ideas.

Yes. RSVP cards, details cards, save-the-dates, menus, signs and thank-you cards can all reuse your illustration, so each additional piece costs less than the first. I’ll quote them together.

I can. Your design fee includes print-ready files. If you’d like me to manage printing, I’ll quote it based on your quantity, paper and finish. Let me know early so we can build it into your timeline.

Custom gifts

Nursery art, housewarming gifts, anniversary surprises, and anything else you can dream up. If it can be illustrated, let’s talk.

Every custom piece is quoted based on its size, detail and timeline. Share your idea and your budget in the inquiry form, and I’ll suggest options that fit.
