Kelsey Overstreet

Overstreet’s “abstract paintings are blueprints: a visual reference for the structure of the human experience. This structure is divided into three rooms: the body, sensory experience, and thoughts and feelings. I create the blueprint for these rooms using the principles of embodiment, awareness, and the tension of yin and yang.”

 

Stephanie and Ken Goldman

For traditional portrait and landscape commissions, look to Stephanie and Ken Goldman to capture a treasured memory with impeccable brushwork, exceptional use of light and color, and true-to-life details.

 

Jeremy Sicile-Kira

Sicile-Kira focuses on painting the positive emotions and spiritual essence of his clients. Using his gift of synesthesia and ability to see auras around people and pets, he recreates the portraits, and provides a description of the meaning of each color. Sicile-Kira also creates memorial paintings. A professional artist since his first sold-out curated solo show in 2016, he has participated in Art Basel and other art shows around the country.

 

Alexandra Hart

Hart has been designing jewelry for nearly two decades and has received numerous awards and scholarships. She looks to nature and evolutionary evidence in biology for inspiration. She works with family heirlooms or recycled and ethically sourced materials to design new, contemporary treasures.

 

Lee Sie

Commissioning an artwork can be intimidating - especially for first-time buyers - so we’ve put together this FAQ page to help you better understand our commissioning process for custom artwork at Sparks Gallery.

Are you currently accepting commissions?

Yes! Our artists receive numerous requests for custom artwork, so if you want your commissioned piece by a specific date, you’ll want to secure your spot as soon as possible. Submit your project to us, and your desired artist will quickly get back to you with a quote.

How much do commissions cost?

The price of custom artwork varies largely based on medium, subject matter, and scale. If you’re interested in commissioning a custom piece of art from one of our artists, contact us, and the artists will get in touch with you to describe their overall process, collect initial details, and can then provide you with an accurate price range.

How does commissioning art work?

Typically, commissioning custom artwork with one of our artists begins by providing a basic description of your desired piece via our inquiry form. There are some extra details you can provide to help expedite your reply, including:

Can I provide feedback during the commission process?

Of course! Artists encourage feedback while working on your custom artwork to ensure that you are in alignment with the vision for the artwork. Your thoughts are especially important when answering our artists’ initial questions, and when you receive a mock-up or sketch to review. Many artists limit the number of revisions they allow on a custom project, so make sure to ask the artist how many revisions are included in the custom artwork price.
