Heirloom Commissions

 

One-of-one artworks created to mark a meaningful chapter in your life.

Some moments deserve more than a keepsake — they deserve something made for you, with intention and care.

Heirloom Commissions are one-of-one artworks created to honour a meaningful milestone or life chapter — a way of celebrating yourself, your story, and the experience you want to remember.
Each piece is shaped through conversation, storytelling, and a sensitivity to symbolism, and made to live in your home as a daily visual reminder of what matters most.

What makes them special?

Unlike a typical studio commission, an heirloom commission is:

    • Created as a one-of-one artwork — never reproduced as a print

    • Developed not just as a beautiful object, but as a way of marking a moment you want to acknowledge

    • Influenced by story, feeling and meaning, not just colour, style and size

    • Offered in extremely limited numbers each year and priced accordingly

Moments That Often Inspire Heirloom Commissions

Heirloom pieces tend to be commissioned for moments that feel like a chapter break — where something has shifted, ended, or begun in a way that truly matters.

Examples include:

  • A wedding — the start of a shared life
  • The arrival of a long-awaited baby
  • Becoming a mother (or a new version of yourself)
  • The loss of someone who shaped you
  • The end of a relationship — and the start of who you are next
  • A milestone birthday that feels like a line in the sand
  • A significant career or life transition
  • A year that changed everything

Why This Matters

This isn’t only about beauty or décor.
This is about acknowledgement and celebration.

Your artwork becomes something you see (not just look at) every day. It’s a quiet reminder in your home of:

✨ What you’ve lived
✨ What you chose
✨ What you learned
✨ Who you are now

That daily reminder is part of why these commissions are different.

The Process — Gentle, Story-Led, Personal

Every heirloom commission begins with a conversation.
I take time to understand not just what happened — but how it felt. What carried weight? What you want remembered? What you want to honour?

From there, I translate that story into atmosphere, place, colour, and form — creating an artwork that feels like a witness to your moment.

This is a thoughtful, reflective process fitting of your moment.

Availability & Pricing

Because of the depth of this work — and the one-of-one nature of every piece — Heirloom Commissions are offered in very limited numbers each year and priced accordingly.

If you’re unsure whether this is right for you, I’m always happy to chat about your story and help you decide whether a studio or heirloom commission feels like the right fit.
