A Painting Made Just for You
Commission a piece that reflects your energy, essence, and emotion
Crafted with heart, guided by intuition - your one-of-a-kind artwork begins with a simple conversation.
“The painting is profoundly beautiful. Seeing our personalities and relationship on canvas in such a personal way is really special. It brings me serenity, peace, and clarity of vision. Words really cannot explain how thankful we are for this commission. It will be proudly on display wherever we choose to call home forever.”
Robb
“I commissioned a painting as a gift for our anniversary. She captured what I wanted perfectly! I love how it turned out and my partner loved the present. I enjoyed the whole process - very professional with a clear timeline and exceptional delivery. I highly recommend Jen Hollstein - she is the best!”

The commission process:
Complete the commission survey or book a call to discuss your ideas!
I’ll send over a commission proposal for you to review including initial sketches, design ideas, and costing/timeline info
Then we can discuss your feedback and develop designs to align with your vision;
I’ll then provide a commission agreement with a final quote, an estimated timeline, final design ideas, and commission terms and conditions;
Upon signing, 50% of the total cost is due. Then I can get to work on your own very special artwork!
I’ll keep you updated with work in progress photos
When the artwork is complete, the balance is due to be paid. I can then ship the artwork to you or offer a complimentary installation for those living in the Gladstone Region.
The artwork now belongs to you!

In personal spaces, bespoke commissions can vastly contribute towards your sense of wellbeing in your home as a sacred sanctuary that reflects and nurtures your sense of self.
In other words, because you are the only one to have this piece in your life, it makes the connection between you and this artwork infinitely special!
Commissions can also foster feelings of joy, hope, and nostalgia which can be very therapeutic in our day to day lives.

Prices vary depending on size, materials, and complexity. Most commissions range between $300 - $3000+ (AUD). I’ll always provide a clear quote upfront and offer flexible payment options for larger works.

This depends on the scale and my current schedule. Smaller pieces may take 2–3 weeks; larger works may take 4–8 weeks. If you have a special date in mind, let me know early and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

Yes, absolutely. Many clients come to me with a feeling, theme, or colour palette. I specialise in intuitive, expressive pieces that capture emotion, memory, or energy. I’ll guide you through a process to clarify the vision together.
