Alexis
welcomes almost all commissions. Her strongest points
are in mosaic, watercolor, acrylic, and mixed media.
If you are interested in commissioning a mosaic, please
contact Alexis with your preferences on tile color,
ceramic or glass tile, and the type of piece you would
like. She can mosaic almost any surface, whether it
be a table-top, mirror or picture frame, flower pot,
candle votive, and much more.
Almost
all of her acrylic-based paintings include Indian Ink,
pastel, and/or watercolor. Modeling paste is often added,
as well, to achieve a more three-dimensional and textured
piece of artwork. Her preferred subject matter is usually
the human form done in unconventional color schemes.

the Artist.
NOTE:
Please refer to the Pricelist
for a detailed list of all artwork and prints for sale.
How
Commissions Work.
Many
factors are to be considered when setting a price for
a commission. Some of these include:
Alexis
purchases all of the necessary supplies prior to beginning
the project. Estimated
work time on a commissioned piece is about 2-4 weeks,
however, if exceptions apply, she will make you aware
of them upon sending your price quote.
Alexis
does not deliver her artwork. It is
available only for pickup in her home or insured shipment
via UPS or US Postal Service (for those of you outside
of Dallas/ Fort Worth, Texas). Price quotes for commissions
do not include shipping charges, if applicable.
Half
of the agreed price of the commission is to be payed
upfront. Once the piece is done, the
other half should be payed upon the date of pickup or
before shipment. Cash and money orders are preferred.
Personal checks are acceptable, but the check must clear
before the piece can be picked up. As of now, Alexis
cannot accept credit or debit cards.
Alexis
is required to charge sales tax.
By law in the state of Texas, all sales must be reported
to the IRS at the end of the fiscal year, therefore,
an additional 8.25% must be charged regardless of which
state the customer is located in. This amount is included
in all quotes.
PS:
If
you decide you will not be able to afford an original
piece, prints are also available, and affordable. If
there is a piece in The Gallery
you like but isn't listed as available in prints, e-mail
Alexis and she will do all she can to get one made
for you. Please note
the colors of the artwork on this site may not exactly
match the colors on your monitor.
Get the Ball Rolling.
So
you’re interested in getting down to business.
Once you’ve decided the piece you’d like
to commission from Alexis, whether it be an interperative
reproduction of someone else’s style or a completely
unique and original idea, please e-mail
her with as much information about it as possible
(the more information, the more accurate the piece will
turn out). If there it is an image she should reference
to while working on the project, please include it in
the e-mail. She will reply as soon as possible with
a price quote for the project, and go over specific
details of the piece with you.
Authenticity.
Alexis
signs all of her work. She can (upon request) include
a small panel on the back of the piece which includes
a list of the media used, and the date completed. She
stamps the back of all pieces with her name and her
signature jellyfish symbol.
