Client Experiences

"We commissioned Francis to paint a portrait of our parents' long-time home as a gift for their 50th anniversary, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. We first discovered Francis’s work on Facebook and at an exhibition, and we liked his unique painting style and composition. Throughout the process, Francis was timely in his communication and incredibly detailed. He provided helpful guidance on the best angles and lighting for the reference photos, ensuring the final piece would look its best. He was open to feedback, flexible with changes, and even helped us select and order a lovely frame. We and our parents are very happy with the result. Thank you, Francis, for making this milestone so special!"

"Working with Francis was an incredible experience from start to finish! I can definitely be a bit picky, especially when it comes to bringing a vision to life, but he handled every detail with such patience, professionalism, and care. The final piece was exactly what I had imagined and honestly, even better! I literally teared up when I saw it. It’s clear how much passion and talent Francis puts into his work. I would 100% recommend hiring him if you’re looking for something truly meaningful and beautifully crafted. Thank you Francis!" - Andrea M., custom artwork client

"I commissioned Francis to compose a painting for my brother, graduating high school and going off to college. I wanted to give my brother a picture of a tree that was dedicated to his mother who passed away when he was young. Not only was Francis incredibly responsive and easy to work with, he was kind, thoughtful, and supportive in the creation process. When we visited the site to be painted, he provided extremely helpful framing and composition recommendations to best capture both the visual and emotional space for the piece. He completed the painting in the agreed-upon timeframe, and my brother immediately recognized and felt moved by the piece. Francis was an incredible partner in creating this gift – I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone looking for a commission to consider his work." - Sean G.. custom artwork client
