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 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.

    Or book a time to visit the studio so we can take a deep dive together into my available artworks and get a sense of what excites you!

  • Yes! I work with a wide range of formats and surfaces - canvas, board, cloth, paper, timber - and can tailor the palette to complement your space or intention. You’re welcome to share reference images or samples for inspiration.

  • Yes, I’ll share progress photos or short videos at key stages unless you prefer a complete surprise. Some clients love being involved; others enjoy stepping back. The process is flexible to your preference.

‘Jen Hollstein’s art is simply captivating! I recently acquired one of her originals and I couldn’t be happier with it. Her expressive style and intense use of colours resonates strongly with my taste. The piece feels deeply personal and evokes a range of emotions. If you’re looking for art that speaks to your soul, look no further…’

‘Bold. Deep. Substance. Illuminating. Connection. The painting anchors me to my heart, activating it, feeling the welling up, the openness, the intensity. It connects me to my roots and to my future. I lie on my couch and take moments to slow down, to pause, to look at it and to connect. Thank you for this delicious piece.’
