Just like the people who collect them, no two of Joanna's paintings are ever the same.
When you commission a piece, you choose the size and colours that feel right for your space - with Joanna on hand to offer gentle guidance whenever you need it. And if you've fallen for a particular painting from her collection, she can create something new in a similar style, while keeping it entirely original to you.
If you have a question or you're ready to begin, Joanna would love to hear from you. She can't wait to see your painting find its home.
How it works
Get in touch
Share your idea, a feeling, a space, or inspiration. Maybe there is a piece of Joanna's that is close to what you have in mind.
Discuss the details
Joanna will talk through size, palette, style, timeline, and pricing to make sure everything feels right. She’ll create sample sketches to see composition and colour.
Create
With all the equipment sourced, the art making begins. You will be updated with photos along the way while still able to have input on those finishing touches.
Receive your original
Your finished painting arrives carefully packaged, ready to hang and cherish for a lifetime.
Let's bring your vision to life
A favourite flower. A beautiful room waiting for its centrepiece. An idea you've been quietly holding onto. Whatever your starting point, Joanna will work with you to bring it to life, handcrafted from the very first mark to the final brushstroke. Watching your own painting take shape is an experience in itself. And when it arrives home, it brings something with it - light, warmth, and a memory that stays.
Frequently asked questions
What is a commission?
A commission is a one-of-a-kind original artwork created specifically for you in Joanna Melanie's style. You work directly with Joanna to bring your vision to life - from colour palette, size to the mood. The result is something no one else owns.
Choosing an existing piece of mine that feels close to what you have in mind really helps me understand your vision from the start.
What can I commission?
Something in Joanna Melanie's style: semi-abstract seascape, floral or abstract pieces. If you have an idea, it's worth
asking.
Do commissions make good gifts?
They're one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give. A commissioned painting, painted around someone's story, home, or memory, is something they'll treasure forever.
How much does a commission cost?
Pricing depends on size, level of customisation, materials, and complexity. Get in touch and following an initial consultation, Joanna will provide a personalised quote with no obligation.
How long does it take?
This will depend on current availability and level of customisation requested for the commission. Joanna can only take on a limited number of comissions a year. Once work begins, the process can take 4-6 weeks.
Timelines vary depending on the piece, but you'll always be kept informed at every stage. If you have a deadline in mind -a gift, anniversary, or occasion - mention it and Joanna will do her best to accommodate.
