THE PROCESS

THE PROCESS

Whoever and whatever you are thinking of, I can help you capture it.

Here is what you can expect and how to get started.

Step 1: Think of a concept

What name do you want (it’s usually a last name) and what reminds you of that person or family? A general theme, place, landmark, food item, or object is a great place to start. Need some inspiration? Check out some of the special moments and items I’ve captured before. Don’t be startled by the creepy dolls.

    -Anna C.

  • "We're getting married in Turks and Caicos and I want one for our living room. Something cute and tropical - I trust you."

Step 2: Understand your options

If you haven’t already, browse more examples and explore further sign customization and pricing details below.

Step 3: When you’re ready, fill out the form

Help me understand what you want and start the collaboration process by filling out this form. It’s ok if you’re not quite sure! This is just a starting point and I’ll work with you closely from this point forward. The form will also allow you select additional customizations and help you decide what is best for you.

This will initiate your order placement. I will reach out within 24 hours via email to finalize information and payment, and to begin discussing your unique sign.

Step 4: Sketch mock-up

After concluding email back-and-forth on the design and your order is placed, I will provide a pencil sketch within 72 hours for a visualization of object placements and what your final sign will look like. You will have the opportunity to provide feedback and request changes before the painting begins.

Step 5: Paint, paint, paint

Once you approve the sketch mock-up, I will get to work! Painting takes 1-2 weeks from this point with progress pictures and status updates provided to you along the way. You will receive a picture of the completed product before it is prepared for delivery.

Step 6: Receive and enjoy

After the final photo is sent, your sign will be ready for you. Both USPS ground shipping and in-person delivery options are available. Shipping costs will be discussed up front after form submission, and I will happily coordinate local drop-off or meet-up within 25 miles of Ashland, MA.
