Painting Commission Questions

Absolutely! I’m super honored you would consider me for something as special as a commission. If you have an idea you are interested in having me create for you I would love to hear it.

Send me a message in the form on my contact page with the details of what you have in mind and we can figure out the details!

Generally, clients invest a 50% deposit initially, with the remaining balance delivered upon completion (I firmly insist on not investing 100% upfront – it helps me stay motivated 😂).

In an effort to keep my work more accessible, I am open to discussing additional installment plans.

I have a courier here in Florence, Italy, who specializes and is highly experienced in safely shipping original art all around the world.

Each piece is protectively wrapped with care and then placed in a sturdy crate before being shipped.

At the world renowned Charles H Cecil Studios, in Florence, Italy. The curriculum stems directly from the leading ateliers of nineteeth-century Paris, and the methods can be traced directly back to John Singer Sargent.

My paintings are most often oil on canvas.

My drawings are typically Roma paper with either pencil or charcoal.

Website designs are made lovingly with pixels. 🐛

I currently reside in Florence, Italy.

Portraits created from life are made to the same scale. Accordingly, classic portrait paintings are made to be 50x60cm, and upwards. Drawings are generally drawn on 66x48cm (26×19 inch) Roma paper.

Standard sized portrait drawings usually take 5 days of poses, with afternoon sittings from 1-4pm (there are breaks, please do not worry :)).

Standard sized portrait paintings take twice as long.

I sure do! I have a framer here in Florence that provides frames for some of the best artists in the city and offers many styles. If you’re comfortable, you can even furnish me with photos of where it will be hung so I can select a frame that will compliment not only the painting but the space it will reside in.

Modeling Questions

Since 2018, I’ve posed internationally with professional individual photographers, spanning Italy, France and the United States, as well as group shoots for 10+ photographers at one time.

Please refer to the ‘modeling portfolio’ section of my site, or my instagram for glimpses of my work.

Generally, $50/hr.

However, I love to support emerging creatives and will consider other means of compensation/offers depending on aesthetic and talent.

The dreamier, the better. Anything romantic or artistic is generally a ‘hell yes!’ from me. Bonus points if it is captured through the lense of the girl gaze.

Yes, but it depends greatly on the photographer and style.

I require a 50% deposit prior to the shoot. If there is a cancellation within 48 hours of the shoot the deposit is forfeited.

If the necessity to reschedule arises please let me know at your earliest convenience so we can come up with a solution.

Brand Collab Questions

You can see updated audience demographics (across platforms) in my media kit, here.

I have expertise in fine art materials (especially in the realm of oil paint), beauty care products (especially hair and skin care), clothing (especially ethical and/or romantic brands), anything and everything related to life in Italy (from a local’s perspective), and personal growth.
