Custom Artwork for Places that Matter

Original, hand-drawn artwork created from the places and stories that mean something to you.

About Custom Commissions

Some place become part of the story --- a family home, a cottage, a favorite destination, or somewhere tied to a meaningful memory.

Stoney Bend commissions turn those places into original artwork. Drawn and painted by hand with attention to the details that make the place yours.

The Commission Process

A simple, collaborative process from meaningful place to original artwork.

1. Share Your Place

Send a photo and a few details about the place you'd like illustrated and why it matters.

2. Confirm the Details

I'll follow up to discuss the artwork, answer questions, and confirm timing.

3. Create the Artwork

Your piece is drawn and painted by hand, with an emphasis on the character and atmosphere of the place.

4. Finish & Delivery

Once complete, your original artwork is signed, framed and prepared for delivery.

The Story Behind the Work

Every Stoney Bend commissioned artwork begins with more than a photograph. It begins with discovering what makes a place worth remembering. Meet the Artist to learn more about my approach, or explore Stories from the places and ideas behind the art.
