Custom Commissions

I create commissioned artwork that weaves together personal narratives, historical memory, and contemporary visual culture. My practice centers on photo-collage techniques that transform meaningful images into layered, thought-provoking compositions.

Commission Types

Photo-Weaving Using a handwoven basket technique, I intertwine your photographs to create dimensional artworks that merge images in unexpected ways. Each weaving requires a minimum of 2 photos—these can be the same image in different treatments (such as color and black & white versions), or entirely different photographs. More complex weavings incorporating additional images are available for an additional fee.

​

Portrait Collage I design custom collages that blend your photographs with archival materials, maps, text, and other visual elements to create narrative-rich compositions. Available as digital files or as physical works (mounted, framed, and shipped), these pieces can explore family history, cultural identity, place-based stories, or conceptual themes meaningful to you.

​

Other Commissioned Projects
Beyond photo-weavings and portrait collages, I collaborate on diverse visual projects including cover art for books and vinyl records, and visual narratives to accompany oral history projects, community demographics studies, and research-based publications. I provide consultation and mock-ups to ensure the visual direction aligns with your project's goals and voice.

Selected Commissions

My commissioned work spans public art installations, editorial projects, and private collections. Recent projects include a large-format print for The Guardian at Future's Gallery in Philadelphia's Village of Arts and Humanities, collage work for the publication Return, Repatriate, Repair: The Case for Abolition at the Penn Museum, and cover art for Open Source by Warren C. Longmire (Radiator Press).
