Every commission begins with a conversation about the person you would like painted, and ends with a portrait that is entirely yours.

Commissioning your painting
How it works
1
You send me photos. I can choose with you, or select the best photo or photos myself, for one person or several, a face or a full figure in a scene
2
I give you a quote – 50% is paid in advance, 50% on completion
3
I paint, and share progress photos with you
“Mariana is an extremely talented artist, she is very imaginative with a great eye for how the final work will look in its’ setting and is completely honest and trustworthy. I will continue to ask her to do work for me and would have no hesitation in recommending her to others.”
– Jennifer Harrison
