custom artwork

It's a special and deeply personal experience to have a bespoke work of art created just for you and your own space, and I'd love to make that happen! You will find with my commissions process that I'm someone who savors the journey. Ever made paint from scratch? It’s a joy, and often the best way to find the exact colors I’m seeking. Whether it means grinding pigments from the earth or concocting my own from pigment powder, the inspiration to personalize your commissioned art and make it just right for you tends to find me at every turn. Here's a peek into how we'll make your vision a reality:

  1. connect + heart-to-heart

The first step is a quick email exchange, but let's throw out the typical script! Share a photo of your space - I want to feel what you're envisioning. Most clients usually leap into discussing size, colors, etc. But here’s where my process is a little different—I'm all ears for your story. Truly understanding how you want your space to feel is my compass as I begin your painting. Taking detailed notes is my forte and nailing down your perfect color story is key. Once I have that buttoned up, the rest of the details always fall into place!

2. finalize the lovely details

After I’ve understood your story, we can discuss the nitty-gritty details and finalize the size of your commission. Once we've locked in the perfect size and any other pertinent information, I'll set up a link for a 50% deposit and send it your way.

3. time for me to make some magic

Now, for the exciting part! I thrive on understanding your vibe. Whether you lean towards an abstract or a more true representation, I will ensure that your painting has all the components necessary to infuse your space with joy and meaning. My canvases often lean towards the abstract, crafted to express emotions and moods, and my goal here is to capture exactly what you’re hoping for, while still surprising and delighting you with your final painting.

4. the grand finale

Your finished masterpiece will be framed and ready to grace your space. Are you local and want to pick it up or do you prefer a seamless delivery? We can work with that too! The final payment will be due at this exciting moment. The best part of the process is seeing the way that your new piece immediately starts to infuse joy, cheer, and fresh life into your treasured spaces.

“having a custom Anne Temple piece brings so much joy to our home!”

“I loved a painting Anne had on her website of a table setting and I dreamed of having a larger-scale version of it in my kitchen. After discussing colors and the general "mood" of what I hoped for, Anne got started. The resulting custom version represents what I love about the original and is tailored to my requests -- it is perfectly suited to my space. Having a custom Anne Temple piece brings so much joy to our home!”
