COMMISSIONS--get exactly what you want!
Love my art but want something more personal or specific? Commissioned artwork is a great way to bring the perfect piece of art into your space. It also makes a uniquely special gift for weddings, anniversaries, house warmings, or new baby—basically any of life’s most special moments. Contact me at carolyndamstra@gmail.com and let's get started!
IT WILL BE EASY--
1. Select which size artwork you would like me to make (see the chart below for sizing and pricing examples—custom sizes available upon request) all artwork will be acrylic paint on stretched canvas with gloss UV coating.
2. Decide what you would like me to paint or draw (either through a reference photograph of yours, or ask me to find one, or by looking at my past artwork—you check out my Instagram account or this website for inspiration).
3. When we agree on everything I will send you an email contract and an invoice for a 50% deposit to begin making your piece. Once the piece is complete, I will send you a photograph for final approval and will then send an invoice for the remaining 50% balance. Once I receive final payment I ship the artwork to you. I will also give you a timeline. Commissions are generally completed within two weeks if not sooner.

11” x 14” $175
16” x 20” $300
18" x 24" $375

This mural above was commissioned for the Michigan State University Butterfly House. All of the butterflys are depicted to accurately represent real species and there is an identification guide. (Originally there was a butterfly hatching box in the cut-out center.)
The painting above was created for a person who wanted to surprise his fiance on their wedding day with a painting of the location where they got engaged-- the coast of Portugal. He sent me reference photos and preferences for size and colors. How romantic!
I was commissioned to paint this display case at a nature center. I gave it a bark texture and added birds, animals and insects. Super fun and educational!
This painting is a very creative family portrait! The person who commissioned it thought of the idea; her three children are half Native American and have middle names that mean wolf, bear, and butterfly. She asked that I incorporate the wolf and bear footprints in the sand and add a monarch butterfly. The scene is from her photograph where the family vacations every year.
