You’re not commissioning an object.

You’re capturing a story. A transformation. A love. A life.

This is not about décor. This is about devotion, remembrance, legacy.

I don’t sell things. I make feelings visible.

CUSTOM ODE – COMMISSION GUIDE

Bespoke artworks that honour life’s most meaningful moments.

Thank you for your interest in commissioning a Custom Ode.

In this guide, you’ll discover what an Ode truly is — how it’s created, what it means to own one, and what to expect from the journey.

Whether you’re honouring a relationship, a personal transformation, or a family legacy: an Ode is more than a gift.
It’s a tribute.
It’s a feeling, made visible.

A Custom Ode is a tailor-made artwork based on your story.
It can take the form of a wall piece, sculptural object, or mixed-media creation.

I work with emotional storytelling, symbolic materials and conceptual design.
Every element is chosen intentionally, often with hidden layers of meaning known only to you (or the person receiving the piece).

This is not just a visual work — it's a conversation, a ritual, a poetic act of honouring.

Why Custom Ode?

  • Storytelling Through Art: A Custom Ode isn't just an artwork—it tells a story. It represents important moments, relationships, and achievements, making it a lasting reminder of what matters most to the client.

  • Emotional Significance: Every Custom Ode is deeply personal, capturing the emotions, memories, and unique stories of the client. It's more than just art—it's a tangible reflection of someone's life.

  • Tailored and Unique: Each piece is one-of-a-kind, created specifically for the individual. They are crafted to reflect the client's personality, experiences, and style.

  • Craftsmanship and Quality: I take pride in creating high-quality, bespoke pieces that stand the test of time. Every material, detail, and artistic choice is carefully selected to ensure the piece is both beautiful and meaningful.

  • Collaborative Process: The client is involved at every key decision point, making the final artwork a true reflection of their input and desires. This personal collaboration ensures a deep connection to the final piece.
