The Basic Process

 

  1. You first submit a commission request (including reference photos) using the form below.

    • Please note that my art takes time, so I only take on a handful of projects at once. If I am not taking active commissions, you may join my newsletter to find out when I'll open commissions next. I also take on some special projects occasionally, so you may also reach out to me via Instagram. 

  2. I review your request and follow up. If it seems like a good fit, this is where I'll provide a quote and expected time table. 

  3. A 50% deposit secures your commission.

  4. I create your piece by hand. 

  5. Final payment is due before shipment.

 

Materials

 

All drawn works are created using charcoal on quality paper. Most pieces will also include a gold, rose gold, and/or silver leafing paint pen, soft pastels, and sometimes ink to mimic the jewelry. 

 

Each piece is sealed with a fixative and signed and dated.

Attribution & Permissions

 

Piercers and/or studios are credited whenever possible. Pieces may be used for my portfolio and social media as well as for prints and other products unless otherwise agreed.

Deanna's work is something truly special. She took something so personal to me, my ear, my craft, and transformed it in to something both intimate and timeless. It now hangs in my piercing room, adding a layer of meaning to the space and sparking heart warming conversation.
