I am passionate about bringing
YOUR unique vision and idea to life!
Tell me what you're looking for and we'll work closely together to get it just the way you want, from concept development to delivery!Paintings and prints for the home, custom comic strips, book cover designs, picture book illustrations, icons and emojis, design assets and more - right now there's no project that I'm unwilling to try!


How it Works

A commissioned piece is designed FOR you BY you!

NOTE: I will NOT take requests that involve: complex machinery,
NSFW/sexual content, extreme gore/violence, hate

Step 1:
You complete the
commission form with as much detail as possible!
This helps me get a beginning understanding of what you're looking for!

Step 2:
I contact you and we discuss the details of the project!
I'll ask you clarifying questions and get the specifics of what you want to see; I may ask for references if relevant as well!

Step 3:
I send you a contract with project description, pricing, timeline, revision expectations, and other business items.
You review the contract!

Step 4:
We both sign the contract.
You pay a 25% deposit at the time of signing.
I officially begin drafting some concept sketches/ideas.

Step 5:
I create and send you a choice (up to 3) of composition prior to really getting started; then, pending approval, I will take the sketch and continue (3-14+ days depending on nature of the desired project/medium).

Step 6:
You pay the remaining 75% balance and I deliver the project to you!
NOTE: Digital commissions are delivered electronically, while traditional commissions are delivered via mail.

What People Say

"Absolutely love my print from Melody! She brought my Batdog idea to life. It turned out so cute and I’m so happy to have such an amazing piece of my favorite pupper! Definitely one for the frames!"Michelle, Jan 2023

"Melody is so talented and thoughtful. She painted a beautiful piece for our family, one of our dogs that recently passed. She sent updates of her work throughout. We loved working with Melody as she created a painting of our dog so that we can remember him forever. She’s the best!!"
Meaghan, Feb 2023

"Melody is absolutely fantastic!! I came to her with a vision and she made it a reality!! We wanted a painting of one of our wedding photos and the finished product was perfection! I love it! The process was easy and her communication was great! I’ll definitely order another custom painting again!"Amy, Mar 2023

"Commissioning my emotes from Melody was a great experience. She was very accommodating to my requests and stayed in consistent communication during the process. The turn around time was unexpectedly quick. The emotes turned out adorable. All in all a 10/10 experience. I would absolutely commission art from her again in the future."Cobalt, Feb 2023

"We contacted Mel to paint my parent's home as a gift for my parents for Christmas. We had seen some of her work and knew she was talented but the piece she did as a gift for my parents was above and beyond our expectations. She communicated with us about everything from the very beginning and kept us updated as she worked on the piece. She asked questions and came up with wonderful ideas to make the final product perfect! I could tell she truly took her time and put a lot of effort and emotion into the painting. I am sure we will use her again and have referred her to others as well. We highly recommend Mel - you won't be disappointed!"Melissa, Jan 2023

"Melody had my complete trust throughout the entire commission process. She is adept at tapping into the heart of community relationships and brings every ounce of that sensitivity to her work. Not only is her art playful, bold, and expressive, but it encapsulates a warmth and a gentleness that the artist herself radiates in every stage of communication.It was an honor to commission Melody, and I am proud to show off her work at every opportunity. Her art helps me get back in touch with a sense of childlike giddiness that so many of us are sorely lacking these days! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a piece that will bring a smile to your face every time you see it."
