Imagine owning a one-of-a-kind artwork infused with the light, texture, and soul of a place or moment that means the world to you.
This is not just a painting or a photograph — it’s your story, captured in the energy of the moment. A luminous, living memory for your home, and your heart.
The Most Personal Piece of Art You’ll Ever Own
Whether it’s a golden sunrise over your favourite bay… the rolling hills where you grew up… the view from the place you said yes… flowers from a wedding bouquet… or a special piece to celebrate a milestone.
I capture those memories, and feelings… and create a bespoke piece of artwork… that is so much more than décor.
Your Personalised Commission Experience
I take on only a small number of private commissions each year, to ensure each piece receives my full attention. The creative journey looks like this:
The Process:
It all begins with you getting in touch — email me at julie@artyheaven.com with a little background about what you’d like to commission, and which of my artworks caught your eye.
From there, I’ll reply with suggestions, or we can arrange a video call to chat through size, style, and the overall vibe you’re drawn to. I’ll confirm pricing once we’ve explored the details. There’s never any pressure to decide straight away — I’ll follow up a few days later if I haven’t heard from you.
When you’re ready to go ahead, we’ll both agree everything in writing, and a 50% non-refundable deposit secures your space in my diary and covers materials.
Throughout the process, I’ll usually check in 2–3 times with progress photos or short videos. I encourage you to respond promptly and share your thoughts — it helps avoid delays and ensures the piece is unfolding in the way you’d love.
My paintings are intuitive, so often I’ll be led as the piece emerges. Many clients prefer to give me freedom here — and it works beautifully when you’re not exactly sure what you want but know you’d like something with my signature style. I’ll always check in with you to ensure it’s emerging in a way you like.
The balance is due before shipping. Payment plans are available. All shipments are fully insured.
When your artwork arrives, I hope you’ll be bursting to share how much you love it! If I don’t hear from you, I’ll follow up to check you’re happy. And if you feel moved to share a testimonial — even better with a photo of the piece in its new home — it always means the world to know it’s been a great experience for you.
This is not a mass-produced print or a generic artwork. Each piece is:
- Handcrafted using a rare and ancient wax-painting technique.
- All photographs taken are at the highest resolution, and carefully edited.
- Infused with energy and intention unique to your story.
- Archival quality — designed to last for generations.
I create bespoke, one-off artworks for individuals, companies, and interior designers looking for something unique.
How long would a commissioned painting take?
That really depends on the piece. We can discuss that, if you need your art for a special occasion with a deadline, let me know and we can discuss options.
A number of factors can affect the timescale, but as a rule of thumb, allow 4 – 8 weeks.
However, it can be quicker, could also be slightly longer! If you have a deadline, I will always try to work with you around that. Or we can discuss an expedite option if it’s really urgent.
My paintings can sometimes take six months to fully cure (harden) once finished, so depending on where they are shipping to, I like to ensure they have cured sufficiently to ensure they won’t be damaged in transit.
I will always keep you informed throughout the process.
How much will my Commission cost?
Prices depend on the style, complexity and size of the artwork.
To give an idea:
Framed local photographs start at £400 for a 60cm wide piece.
Medium sized encaustic pieces (art only) would range between £800 – £1,800 for a 60 x 60cm depending on an encaustic paper piece, or a layered piece on wooden panel.
Larger encaustic layered pieces on wooden panels start at £4,000 for a 1.5m x 1.5m piece.
Framing can be arranged at an additional cost.
Larger statement works or corporate projects quoted individually.
We can arrange a payment plan by instalments to suit your budget if required.
All of my artwork comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, care instructions and a short story and explanation of how the piece was created.
Commissioning a piece of art is a special experience, knowing that you have a unique piece of art, that you will cherish for years to come.
I would love to help you in this experience…
