Commissions
A commission with Apothecary Artist begins not with a brief, but with a material.
If you have something personally meaningful, a handful of soil from a place you love,
ash from a significant fire,
a fragment of pigmented rock, a dried plant or flower,
I may be able to prepare it as a paint material and weave it into an original work made specifically for you.
This is not a conventional commission.
You are not directing the art. You are collaborating.
You are contributing to the earth of it.
From there, I work with complete creative freedom, guided by your material, your chosen palette and mood, and the recipes and techniques I have spent decades refining.
The result is a work that carries your history, your meaning and my practice in equal measure. This is special.
Commissions are a fixed price, taken in limited numbers to ensure every work receives the time and care it deserves.
Limited Annual Intake - Open for late 2026
1. Enquire
Send a message via email or social media with a brief description of what you have in mind, i.e the material you'd like to bring, and why we should create this artwork.
email: hello.apothecaryartist@gmail.com
4. Send your material
You send me your chosen material. I assess it, prepare it where possible, and begin. From this point the artistic decisions are entirely mine, part of the creative process.
2. Receive your questionnaire
I'll send you a short document to complete, your material, your colour palette and mood preferences, and the works of mine that resonate with you. This is where expectations are set, clearly and simply.
5. Timeframe
This will be agreed upon before the project begins and with the best of intentions be professionally respected by both of us.
3. Confirm & Deposit
Once we're aligned, a 50% deposit secures your place. Please note, a commissioned artworks are non-refundable. Full terms and conditions are provided and signed off on at this stage.
6. Receive your work
When the work is complete, the balance is due on completion. Your work will be sent with its Provenance Record, Certificate of Authenticity, signed & ready to frame.
