Commission Bespoke Artwork

Is there a place that means something special to you?
I undertake artwork commissions for individuals and businesses.

If there is a place that holds significance in your life, you might be interested in commissioning an original art print for yourself or as a gift. Whether it is your home or an iconic public building or the place where you got married, I can create something personal for you.

Places hold stories and I love to capture these for my clients in original artwork so they can be reminded of them daily in their homes.

How to commission an original print

First step is to get in touch, we will discuss what you would like form the artwork and work together to create an original print you will love. Tell me about the the place you would like me to draw, do you already have a size in mind? would you like a colour artwork or the simplicity of a black line drawing?
Consider what your budget is for the artwork. Every project is different, I will be creating your artwork from scratch, therefore I will create a custom quote for your project.

During the Project

Throughout the project I will send you draft sketches and updates as the artwork develops. I invite you to give feedback and input into the creation of your print. You will sign off on the final 'artwork proof' before it goes to print. You will receive a signed print in limited edition, printed and framed to your specifications.

Client Feedback:

"We commissioned Kethi to do the three Barbican Towers, one of our favourite architectural icons in London, in a freestyle of her own. Our only specification was the colour and that the towers were in some way connected. Kethi kept us informed throughout the process, sending draft sketches for us to look at, thus ensuring we approve of the direction the work was going into. We were really pleased with the end product and number 1/25 now hangs in pride of place in our apartment! Many thanks to a really talented artist."

What is the cost?
The drawings are made from scratch for the commission, I work out the cost based on the time it takes to create the artwork and then add the costs of materials so to give an accurate price, I will create a custom quote for each project based on the above.
If the drawing is very complex then it will take longer to draw the detail and convert to print and therefore cost more, even if you choose a small size or unframed print. In the quote I can tell you the cost for both framed and unframed artwork and different sizes.

Custom sizes / edition sizes / print techniques
Custom sizes, specialist print types or entire editions are available just get in touch with your specific requirements.

We love Kethi's work.

We commissioned a map of our forest retreat venue in the south of France and it's just so beautifully done. The talent, perception and care in the work are all obvious but what we really appreciated was Kethi's ability to genuinely capture the essence of the place. It's a great piece, thanks so much.

  • “I was gifted a print Kethi did of my favourite cafe which is so beautiful and so meaningful. Would highly recommend!”

    — Carly S.

  • “I have had the great pleasure of commissioning Kethi for two pieces of art. One in particular is very special, a picture of a pub, my wedding venue. This print hangs in pride of place, in my home. Kethi engaged both projects with the same great gusto and skill. She is professional, preternaturally talented and, as a bonus, a very wonderful person. Commission Kethi, she is a star.”

    — Ryan B.

  • “Kethi drew us our favourite local view (from Telegraph Hill Park) when we moved out of London. It's fab and a great reminder of the good times we spent there. I really recommend her work. Thanks Kethi!”
