Commission a Custom Artwork
Let’s create something just for you.
Commissioning a piece of art is a special experience—one that allows you to be part of the design process from the very beginning. Together, we’ll select colors, style, size, and overall mood to craft a one-of-a-kind work that reflects your space and your story.
In the early stages, I’ll work closely with you to understand the feeling you want the piece to convey. We'll define a palette and discuss layout preferences, so I can translate your vision into something uniquely mine—and uniquely yours.
Because each piece evolves layer by layer, there are often moments where I check in. And other times, I simply follow the flow. I ask my clients to trust the process as I do—to let go a little, knowing that the final reveal is always a joyful and meaningful moment.
The Process
• Planning – Color palette, energy, size, and shape (for works 24x36 and larger)
• Confirmation – Signed agreement with final plan and price; 50% non-refundable deposit required
• Creation & Updates – Occasional check-ins or photos, depending on the piece
• Final Reveal – In person if local, or carefully packed and shipped with care
Have a space in mind? I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming of.
If something is calling to you, let’s bring it to life together. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to create something just for you.
Here's just a few commissions I've done and some comments from the clients:

After admiring Victoria Thornton’s art for several years, we decided that owning one of her charcuterie boards was not enough. We decided to commission a piece. The experience was easy and fun resulting in a wonderful, large piece of art. She visited our home to get a feel for our colors, taste, and available space. As the piece progressed through the summer, she shared photos and asked for feedback (we were 1,800 miles away). The piece is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. Victoria is very creative and it was fun to collaborate with her.

"Fall of 2020 we decided to renovate our home to a more contemporary look. We wanted our furniture and walls to be the blank canvas and just needed our punch of color to be our statement piece. After seeing Victoria's art at K Newby Gallery, then again at Miraval Resort and Spa, we knew we had found our artist. After a quick Google search, I was delighted to discover that she was a local artist and to top it off lived right around the corner from us. Victoria met with us and the fun began. We decided we wanted to go BIG -- a size that was to take over her entire studio and house. We gave Victoria a list of colors that we wanted and these were to complement our unique granite of our kitchen's island and off to work she went. The process of painting, you'll have to ask Victoria; the results speak for themselves. The house's main focal point is our painting. Put simply, it's the star of the room. We're already looking forward to our next area, our entrance way. Working with someone who has such passion, vision, and creativity in their work made this venture fun. Knowing that she listened to our wishes, she achieved exactly what we wanted. Thank you, Victoria."

"Working with Victoria was a wonderful experience. Not only is she kind and easy to work with, she is a gifted artist. She came to our home to discuss options to enable her to create the perfect artwork. We started by discussing colors and ideas we would like to see develop. She allowed us to voice what we wanted to see and offered gentle suggestions and assistance. She took photos of the furniture and the entire setting. From there, she was able to drop into those photos, samples of the artwork so we could envision the final product. We next discussed colors and design. She had color samples and we were able to pick out the ones we desired in our artwork. She took those samples to her studio and created beautiful products. From there, we tweaked the artwork to our desires. She took it home again and developed the final product. It turned out to be a beautiful piece, one that we are proud to display. Our guests are drawn to it with commentary of great liking. From there, we had her develop a piece for our entry. Again, it is perfect! We are thrilled with her work and highly recommend her to develop pieces for your home." - Lois Bossert, Quail Creek, Green Valley, Az

"Working with Victoria was a wonderful experience! The anticipation of seeing the final product was so much fun! I shared my color preferences with her, and she did her magic! Along the way she would text me a tiny snippet of the entire piece, and oh how exciting it was to see the transformation right along with her. And then the final reveal! Just spectacular! Stupendous! So wonderful to have a work of art created just for you exactly to your liking! If you’re thinking about commissioning her, don’t think any longer! Just do it - you will not be disappointed!" - Sherrie McGriff
