Creating a work of Art That reveals what matters to you

A Journey In Co-Creation

Creating a custom painting is a deeply personal and transformative experience, and I approach every commission with the utmost care and attention. My goal is to co-create a piece that is not only meaningful to you but also reflects my own lived experiences and artistic vision.

The Process

Step One

Initial Conversation/In-Person Consultation

When you first reach out, we will discuss your ideas, inspirations, and the emotions or themes you’d like the painting to convey. Whether it’s a specific scene, a memory, a color palette, or a deeply symbolic concept, I want to understand the heart of your vision. If that sounds intimidating to you, have no fear! I have specific questions that will guide you as you make these considerations. If you are local to Houston, I’m happy to come into your space and consult with you on the size and/or location of the piece within your home.

Step Two

Creating the Artwork

With a clear understanding of your vision, I begin crafting the painting. I use a multi-medium approach that allows me to bring depth and texture to the piece. Incorporating elements such as embroidery, quilting, paint pouring, collage, and abstract mark-making, I blend traditional and experimental techniques to create a dynamic composition. Each layer, whether it's the tactile threads of embroidery or the fluidity of paint pouring, tells a part of the story—merging your personal narrative with my own lived experience as an artist. This process allows the painting to unfold in unexpected ways, resulting in a truly unique and layered work of art.

Step Three

Final touches

Once the painting is complete, I’ll share it with you for any final thoughts or adjustments. I want you to feel completely connected to the piece, knowing it is a true reflection of what we set out to create together.

Step Four

Delivery

After any last tweaks, the painting will need to remain in my studio to dry/cure for anywhere from 2-6 weeks to ensure safe transportation. I’ll carefully prepare the painting for delivery or installation, ensuring it reaches you in perfect condition.

Testimonials

“Hannah is such a thoughtful and personable artist. We enjoyed the process of working with her from beginning to end. She created a beautiful abstract landscape painting of a favorite place of ours. Every time I see it, I see something new. Not only is the art one-of-a-kind and personal, but the entire process of working with Hannah felt bespoke as well. I loved the videos she sent us of the layers she created in the painting.” — Nate E.

… We've known Hannah for years and have seen her rediscover her passion for painting. Working with her was a true pleasure from start to finish. Though we couldn’t bring Hannah to this northern pine forest, we collected an album of our favorite photos—stumps, lichens, rocks, and ferns—that captured the spirit of the forest through the seasons. We discussed colors, moods, and the atmosphere we wanted to evoke, but ultimately, we trusted Hannah to bring her own artistic vision to life. The result is a painting that is both beautiful and deeply emotional. This is a piece we will treasure forever, adding a sense of nature and reflection to wherever we call home.” — Peter M.
