At Lisa’s Local Art, I offer a bespoke commission service, designed to bring your ideas to life and create a one-of-a-kind piece that you’ll love for years to come.

Whether it’s for your home, a meaningful gift, or a special occasion, commissioning artwork is a personal and exciting experience.

✨ Why Choose a Commission?

A commissioned piece is more than just artwork - it’s something created with you in mind.

Tailored to your space - choose colours, size and style
Completely unique - no one else will have the same piece
Meaningful - perfect for gifts, milestones or special memories
Personal experience - be part of the creative journey

From colour palettes that match your home to designs that reflect your personality, your artwork becomes something truly personal.

🖌 How the Commission Process Works

1. Share Your Vision

Start by describing your perfect artwork. Think about:

Size
Style
Colours you’d like to include
Your budget (if you have one in mind)

It’s really helpful to explore my website beforehand so you can get a feel for my style and what you love most.

2. Get in Touch

Once you’re ready, you can contact me via:

My website (commissions page)
Email
Social media

From there, I’ll be in touch to talk through your ideas and the next steps.

3. Planning & Booking

If you decide to go ahead:

I’ll confirm a timescale and availability
We’ll agree on all details upfront
A small deposit is usually required to secure your booking
Collection or postage will be arranged

Everything is kept simple, clear and tailored to you.

4. Stay Involved Along the Way

One of the most exciting parts of commissioning artwork is seeing it come to life.

You’ll receive regular updates and photos throughout the process, so you can follow your piece as it develops.

Your very own artwork is in progress - and you’re part of that journey.
