Commission a Painting with Teshia!

Do you love Teshia's Original Paintings, but don't see quite what you are looking for in her portfolio? Maybe you would prefer a different subject matter, specific colors that match your custom furniture.... or maybe you have your heart set on a colorful creation of your favorite Wild Animal? Teshia loves to paint large, eye-catching, one-of-a-kind paintings, & is always happy to bring her collectors' imaginative ideas to fruition, & in true TeshiaArt style!

Is a Custom Painting the Right Choice for You?

A Custom Original Painting is a wonderful way for you to have your own perfect painting, catered specifically just for YOU.... Does your Home, Office or Business need a special touch?  With a Commission you can custom design your Teshia Original Painting to meet the needs of your unique interior space (customize your desired color palette, style, size, subject matter, etc.). Or perhaps you'd like to give your loved one a truly unique & special, personal gift.... one that they will get nowhere else & that they will treasure for a lifetime.

Did you have a once in a lifetime experience or wildlife encounter that you can't forget? Maybe you took a trip to Alaska & saw a massive Kodiak Grizzly fishing for salmon, right in front of you.... Or perhaps you saw a glorious elephant during that unforgettable trip to Thailand.... Or you can't shake that one heart-stopping moment.... when you felt the thunder of a running rhino on safari in Africa.

On the other hand, if you simply love a specific animal, Teshia can custom create your beloved creature, in her famous colorful style, for you as well. Maybe you’re a Momma Bear with 3 “cubs” of your own, & would like a “family portrait” of your bear family for your living room! Teshia has done many of these types of custom pieces specifically for families with children or grandchildren, represented by her adorable baby animals. Past creations have included fuzzy bear cubs, curious wolf pups, spotted fawns, even adorably lanky moose calves!

If you have a cherished “family member”, a favorite critter, or an amazing experience or memory that you'd love to capture & cherish forever, Teshia can bring your imaginings, visions or memories to reality, possibly with more vibrancy, life & energy than ever before....

Teshia’s Commission Process

Teshia will work with you to decide on the colors, size & style that will be best for your custom painting & your unique space (which is a lot of fun)! Please keep in mind that her subject matter is Wildlife. Whether the perfect wildlife piece for you consists of an enormous elephant, burly grizzly bear, cute little cubs, meandering moose family, happy hippo, thundering bison, regal lion, or monstrous octopus - is up to you! The sky is the limit, as Teshia loves all wildlife & is always excited to stretch her imagination & creativity…. often even into un-chartered waters!

High quality reference images, personal photos, etc. are always appreciated if you have a specific idea in mind. This helps Teshia to better conceptualize what it is that you are envisioning. Teshia wants to make sure that you absolutely LOVE your new Original Painting, & that it is as close to (or better than!) your wildest visions! 

Teshia’s Original Paintings are created with rich acrylic paints on the premium canvas dimensions of your choice (see minimum sizing below). Your Painting will be carefully varnished upon completion with numerous layers of professional-quality, UV-Protectant varnish, guaranteeing the quality, safety, vibrancy, value & beauty of your Teshia Original Painting for generations to come. 

Every Original Painting by Teshia is delivered or shipped ready-to-hang in a beautiful, custom-built, heavy-duty & high quality wood “canvas floater” frame that is hand-crafted by Teshia’s professional framer, located in Northwestern Montana (unless no frame - or a custom frame purchased separately by the Collector - is preferred). Desired color or customized stain color of the frame can be discussed at the time of the commission. Otherwise, Teshia will have a frame built that she thinks will best suit the look & style of your specific painting & interior space. Her current standard frames are a beautiful, rustic-style, barn-wood grey, that have been very popular & seem to match beautifully on Teshia’s iconically mountain modern, contemporary-style paintings, as well as in most spaces & interior design styles.

Pricing & Sizing

Teshia’s Commission Pricing is based on the total size of the desired painting, & currently starts at $20,000

Although Teshia can paint many different things in her acclaimed style, she specializes in colorful, energetic, contemporary-style paintings of wildlife ....& the larger the better! Unlike many Artists, Teshia actually prefers to paint very large pieces over small ones. Therefore, the smallest painting Teshia typically does is around 48x72” (as an example of a “smaller” size that she enjoys working on). Pricing increases with sizing, and is subject to change as the demand for Teshia’s Original Paintings continues to increase. A 50% deposit will be required at the time of your commission order (i.e. once details are discussed & agreed upon with Teshia). This deposit will also be what secures your commission slot on Teshia’s painting calendar.

Original Painting Details

As a Collector of one of Teshia’s Original Paintings, you will be the sole owner of that unique, one-of-a-kind, Original Painting. Nothing compares to the beauty & allure of one of Teshia’s Originals: With her unique, metallic & iridescent accents; her custom, color-popping, high-gloss finishes; her detailed, eye-catching brushstrokes; & even her slightest Artist imperfections that can only be witnessed on a truly Original piece of fine art. Although Teshia does sell high quality Fine Art Prints of all of her paintings (and, as the creator of each painting that she produces, **also reserves the right to sell prints of her commissions**), there truly isn’t a comparison when one stands in front of one of her massive, eye-catching Originals. We assure you that her many Collectors throughout the world can attest to that!

If you happen to be one of the unique Collectors in the world who is able to commission an Original Painting by Teshia, she looks forward to working with you to create your unique, one-of-a-kind, special Painting that will truly be like no other!

Commission Timing & Scheduling

Teshia's average Commission timeline is approximately 6-8 months from the date of order (i.e. once the 50% deposit is made). Commissions are scheduled on a first come, first served basis. To get on her schedule, we suggest that you request your commission slot ASAP, as Teshia's painting schedule fills up very quickly. Sometimes she is able to complete a piece sooner than anticipated, but that is dependent on the painting to be created & Teshia's calendar at the time of request.

Thank you!
