First - We talk and I get an idea of what your interests are. I may look at your space and we discuss possibilities. We may email images and ideas back and forth until we feel we have a good idea about what the piece or pieces will be. A deposit is given after I have a feel and a vision for your interests, size and purpose, and we agree. I bring all of my experience and interests to bear on creating a work of art that you can live with and enjoy for years to come. Further payments are made per our agreement at the beginning of the project.
