Commissions

Your essence, painted.

A commissioned Joy Blast is an abstract portrait of who you are — your energy, the feeling of you — with none of your physical form. It's an intimate, personal experience, and it ends with something that can make every day on your wall a little brighter.

What's a Joy Blast?

A Joy Blast is a portrait of what's inside a person, not what's outside. I'm after your energy, your spirit — the thing people feel when you walk into a room — and I translate it into color, motion and light.

The very first Joy Blast captured someone bursting with joy among fire and lights. Since then the idea has grown: internal essence over external appearance, painted as a burst only you could have.

The experience

This isn't an order form and a shipping label. It's time we spend together — a meal or a drink, and a real conversation where your guard comes down. Then I go and paint your essence.

1
Reach out
Tell me a little about you — and the space, if it's going on a wall. Colors, a story, a photo; whatever helps.
2
Time together
We share a meal or a drink and talk. An interview, a conversation — I'm listening for what makes you, you.
3
I paint your essence
A palette and concept built around you, then a painted original — one of a kind.
4
Delivered, ready to hang
Sized to your wall and ready to go up, so your brighter day can start right away.

An investment we'll discuss personally — based on size, and on the experience. Let's talk.

The palette follows the person.

Not every Joy Blast is neon. Someone calm and grounded might be painted in muted tones and earth colors; someone electric might be a riot of brights. The colors follow the person.

The Joy Blasts shown on this site lean bright and colorful — mockups on a wall give you a feel for the scale and the glow.

For a person, a room, a moment.

The heart of a commission is you. But a Joy Blast can also be built around:

Your living room
A memory
A celebration
Your brand
A wedding
A new baby
A new home

Always sized to the wall it's going on.

Let's make your wall happy.

Tell me a little about you and what you're dreaming of. I'll reach out personally to talk it through — no pressure, just color.

Good art, brighter days.
