commissioned works

For Individuals Who Are Interested In A Piece Of Fran’s Art:

• A good faith estimate will be given prior to beginning work
• If the piece requires the purchase of materials the artist might not purchase for other projects (silver or gold for jewelry, clay for certain projects), these will be included in the estimate and will also be required as an up front cost.
• A letter of understanding must be written and confirmed by both parties to determine the scope of the project, time frame, and compensation.
• Compensation based on the good faith estimate will be provided up front at 50% to Fran. This is non-refundable and will be used for the purchase of materials and will also go toward the beginning of the design phase. Rates range from $15 to $50 per hour, depending upon the work to be done and the purpose for which it is produced.
• Fran will update the customer on timing and let him/her know if additional time is needed. It will be a mutual decision between the artist and the customer as to when and whether the project will be completed at this point.
• The 50% up front cost is non-refundable once work has begun on the project
• Multiple projects for the same client may be combined for some discounts. This is dependent upon the art requested.
• Payment is due upon receipt of the completed project. Work is guaranteed in presentable and usable condition for 1 year. Any repairs necessary that are not due to unnecessary wear and tear will be completed without charge, though postage must be paid by the owner.
