I’m so glad you want to learn about my one-of-a kind Commissioned Paintings
I’m excited to transform your chosen photo into a one-of-a-kind work of art that will hold so much meaning to you or your loved one. Your painting will be carefully handcrafted, capturing every detail of your special vacation, portrait, or even painting your father as Santa Claus! The creative possibilities for a commissioned artwork are endless! We will work together to create your beautiful painting. Whether you're looking for a personalized gift for a loved one in your life or a stunning piece of art to adorn your very own walls, a personalized painting will be certain to impress. I look forward working together.
Would you like a custom painting of a memorable place or moment?
You fell in love in the mountains and you go there every year to celebrate your Anniversary. You have a photo of when you proposed and she said, "Yes" You can't stop thinking about that little cafe where you had coffee in Italy. I can paint your special place or moment in time so that it hangs in your home to admire and reminisce every time you look at your painting. All you have to do is provide me with your favourite photos and I will paint you a painting that you will transport you back to that special time and place.
Portraits
A portrait from your favourite photo is a beautiful and timeless keepsake to preserve that special memory of yours. I do my best to capture every likeness in my painting and convey the unique character of your loved one. A portrait painting is a unique and memorable gift on any occasion such as an engagement, wedding, anniversary, birthday or Christmas.
Pet Portraits
As an artist, I aim to capture the likeness of your pet in my painting but also capture and convey the unique personality and character of your sweet furry friend. My goal is to make your memories last forever and warm your heart every time you look at your painting. Custom pet portraiture is a unique gift for yourself or that special person in your life who also loves their pet. A pet memorial can be a special gift for people who have lost their pets and want to keep warm memories about their animals forever.
A Cherished Christmas Heirloom
Christmas is my most favourite time of the year. When my first daughter was born I painted the Santa from her very first Christmas card. Every December that Santa painting has adorned our home and it brings me such joy every Christmas season. It’s my keepsake of years gone by and I love it more and more. It's truly a treasure. Last year I had a thought to paint my Grandpa as Santa Claus. I just adore his Santa portrait and I want to offer you your very own unique painting heirloom to your family. All I need are some quality photos of your Grandpa or Grandma and I can paint them as Santa or Mrs Claus. You could even use photos of your own parents or another special person. Or perhaps you’d like a painting of your child as Santa Claus’s Elf!
“The second project we commissioned Shelley for was to transform an old cross-cut antique saw blade into a keepsake wedding gift. Shelley was able to recreate an outdoor wedding scene from pictures and videos. Her creation exceeded our vision, the recipients were overwhelmed with joy. We highly recommend her and she was a pleasure to work with!”

All my paintings are painted using professional artist-grade paints. This ensures that your painting is not only beautiful but also durable and long-lasting. I use professional-grade high-quality, stretched canvas, 100% archival cotton watercolour paper or cradled wood panel. Canvas comes in Deluxe or Gallery profiles.
The Deluxe Profile: 7/8 inch depth. With this depth of canvas profile, we recommend the art be framed in a traditional canvas frame or in a more modern Floating Frame.
The Gallery Profile: 1 3/4 inch depth. This canvas profile is ready to hang with painted edges for a beautiful finish.
Cradled wood Panels: On some of the wooden panels, I have included a painted wooden back, painted in the same manner as the front and sides. There is an additional $50.00 to the size pricing. I typically leave space for a complimentary personalized message if you choose to have one.
Portrait Paintings: The above prices are listed for ONE subject only. If you would like two or more persons in your painting, there is an additional $100 fee for each subject added. Please enquire about additional canvas sizes and costs if you are looking for a different size.
Let’s Work Together
Step 1
Fill out the application below to get started. Describe what it is you want created. Once I see your application I’ll be in touch to set a time to talk about what you’re dreaming of.
Step 2
After our meeting, I’ll create a custom proposal for you and give you an estimated timeline. A 50% deposit reserves your spot and officially starts the creative process.
Step 3
I’ll pull inspiration from your photos and other information that you provide to me, and start planning your artwork. I’ll send you a sketch and you can request any revisions at this time.
Step 4
Once the artwork is completed, I will send you a photo of the complete painting for final approval. You can make one revision at this stage. Once you are thrilled with your painting the remainder of the balance is due. I’ll thoughtfully package it and send it to your home or deliver it in person if you live in the Cold Lake area. Get ready for an unbelievable unboxing experience!
