Commission a custom Mary Gaspar Art piece

COMMISSIONS

Is there a particular color, composition or painting of mine that has sparked curiosity and made you wonder how that painting would look in YOUR space?

With YOUR colors, style, furniture and family?

Perhaps you love the idea of owning a unique piece of original artwork but you don’t see the colors that speak to you in my current collection?

You may be interested in commissioning a painting.

Creating custom pieces for clients and collectors is one of my favorite things to do! I would be honored to work with you to create the perfect, one-of-a-kind painting for your space.

Shipping is not included in the price. It will be determined with the zip code of where the final piece will be shipped to.

Framing

I can coordinate framing for an additional cost and for sizes up to 40 x 60 inches! Framing is encouraged, particularly for paintings on paper. I’ve partnered with both Framebridge and Simply Framed to give you a beautiful and seamless framing experience.

Framing Pricing:

Up to 24 x 36 framing: $250

30 x 40 framing: $300

Anything above 36 x 48 inches, may have to be framed locally. If you are local to the Chicago area, I can help with this, otherwise I can guide you to a local framer in your area!

Pricing includes an optional matte on some sizes.

Custom sizes are available. Prices vary with custom frame choices or extra add ons like “float mounting”.

How I work

I ask for half of the price as a downpayment and to begin your custom piece. I will create a smaller mockup version of your painting. Upon your approval, I create your painting in your desired size!

Once the piece is completed, I send you a picture for approval, and then will invoice you the final payment. Should you opt to frame with me, I will then ship your painting off to Framebridge. Framebridge will then send you your custom painting professionally framed and ready to hang! The whole process should take between 8 and 10 weeks.
