Your Story, My Canvas: The Art Commission Experience

  • Step 1: Initial Conversation

    Let’s connect about your space, style preferences, and artistic vision. During an onsite visit, we'll discuss dimensions, color palette, and the feeling you want your custom piece to evoke. Using my interior design experience, I will assess the space, furniture style and accessories, lighting, existing and preferred color pallet, and the layout of the potential combination of art and space.

  • Step 2: Concept Development

    Based on our initial conversation, and agreed price and size, I require ½ down to create preliminary sketches and color studies for your review. My artistic recommendations consider space allocation and color composition before any elements go onto a canvas. This collaborative phase allows you to provide feedback and make adjustments before the artwork takes shape. Your input is essential as we refine the concept together.

  • Step 3: Creation & Delivery

    With your approval of the concept, I'll bring your commission to life. You'll receive progress updates throughout the creation process. Once the artwork is completed and the remainder of payment is secured, your custom artwork will be professionally finished and carefully packaged—ready to become the perfect focal point in your space.

Co-Creating Your Artistic Legacy

Your Vision, My Expertise:

When you commission artwork with me, you're not just purchasing a painting—you're embarking on a creative journey with a dedicated partner. I bring my trained eye for color, composition, and space developed through decades of interior design and fine art experience to your project. Together, we'll explore your aesthetic preferences, spatial needs, and emotional connections while honoring the unique vision you bring to our collaboration. Through thoughtful conversations, concept sharing, and creative refinement, I'll translate your ideas into a tangible work of art that resonates with both your space and your spirit. This partnership transforms what could be a simple transaction into a meaningful experience, resulting in artwork that tells your story through my distinctive artistic expression—a true reflection of our collaborative creativity that will enhance your environment for years to come.

“We had always wanted a Laura Boardman painting, asking her to paint her interpretation of a sunset photograph taken at our Island Park cabin. We were thrilled with her process and rendition of our concept, size and placement in our Salt Lake City home. Laura visited our home to start, upon completion, helped our final framing and hanging of art work.

We are thrilled with the painting as light changes through the day!”
