My process usually begins with meeting in person, ideally in the space (if Sydney based), or virtually to discuss the process, ideas and key requirements of the custom work. This is the chance for us to really get on the same page,
4. Options & quote presentation
Once I have a clear idea of what you’re looking for, I prepare a tailored quote, including the proposed completion timeframe and a visual proposal.

We’ll work together to refine the options until you’re happy with the brief.

Once finialised, everything including T&C’s, delivery date and requirements will be placed into a contract for us both sign off on. A 50% deposit is required for work to start.
7. Creation
I'll progress with creating your work, checking in as and when is needed with updates or questions.
8. Complete
You’ll receive periodic updates and then when it’s time for the reveal we’ll setup time for you to view the finished artwork in the studio or over email.
COMPLETING the form
Please use below form to submit your request or email contact@montanamooreart.com if you have any questions.
SIZE
This doesn’t have to be exact for the moment, as part of the consultation I can help advise what would be the best size for your space.
DEADLINE
Do you have an absolute hard date that you need your custom artwork for? I’m always happy to work with special requests but I’ll first need to review if its possible in my initial assessment.
MESSAGE
This is your chance you tell me in as much detail about what you’re looking for. This will form the base requirements along with your other information which we’ll later expand on in more detail.
What is the cost of a commission?
It really depends on the size and complexity.
Due to the fact that commissions are so personal, and bespoke I invest considerably more time into a custom piece than an off the shelf artwork.
Once I have received your request I will either:
- Provide an immediate quote if its very clear what you're looking for.
- For more complex pieces where the process & logistics will require a better understanding, the quote will be included in your options presentation after we have had our initial consultation.
When calculating the quote I will mainly use the size of the artwork with consideration of how complex (or not) the process will be.
How long will a custom artwork take to produce?
Normally 3-6 months from when the contract is signed and deposit is paid. Due to the fact that commissions are so personal, and custom I invest considerably more time into a custom artwork that an off the shelf artwork.
Of course I'm happy to discuss any set dates you have in mind.
How is the time frame calculated?
I take complete care and pride into every single piece I create. My process requires countless layers to create depth and texture which takes a long time. Not to mention logistics and materials... each canvas is completely custom made, they themselves take up to a month to receive which means I can only start work from then. Don't worry, any time frame I give you will factor that in and of course if you have a set deadline in mind I can consider this too.
How can I lower the cost of a commission?
The short answer is it's not possible, without lowering the size or quality. Quality is something I take complete pride in, literally every single material is of the highest standard. I would never allow anything to leave my studio that doesn't meet my own standards so it's not something I would ever compromise.
Can I replicate previously sold pieces?
Unfortunately not, even I wanted to replicate a previous artwork it'd never be exactly the same so it may not meet your expectations. I respect all collectors who have invested in me/ my art so it wouldn't be fair to anyone involved for there to be duplicates of the same artwork/ reference. It's not to say I can't take previous pieces you love into consideration.
Custom piece or ready to buy?
It's entirely your choice. Ready to buy pieces will constantly change as I evolve as an artist and release new works.
Whether you've missed out on available pieces, I've stopped painting a particular style you love or you just have a specific vision, custom artworks allow you freedom to choose exactly what you want and tailored to your space.
Can artworks be shipped?
Of course! Most of my works are sent overseas. Again, every artwork is different. The cost of shipping will vary depending on the size, weight and specialist packaging required. Please refer to shipping guidelines for more information.
