My Pricing Method

 

The original works of art showcased on my website may seem to have "no rhyme or reason" when it comes to pricing. But there is, in fact, a method to my madness.

I’ve always been prolific. Painting is more than what I do—it’s who I am. At this stage of my life, I paint nearly every day, sometimes completing several pieces in one sitting. My mind is brimming with ideas that demand to be set free.

Each painting begins with a clear vision. I approach it with intention and focus, using painting as a discipline that helps me navigate the challenges of my neurodivergent mind. Every canvas is a puzzle, a mental workout, and a leap of trust. I push myself with new ideas, methods, and techniques. Some pieces land just right. Others miss the mark. I accept them all.

And that’s where pricing comes in.

When a painting doesn’t fully capture what I had in mind—if it doesn’t meet my standard—I price it low. Sometimes as low as $20. Not because it isn’t beautiful, but because it didn’t achieve what I set out to do. I rarely rework a piece. Instead, I let it stand as part of my journey and move forward.

On the other hand, when I feel I’ve hit the mark—when a painting reflects my full vision and ability—I price it accordingly. It carries the value of growth, effort, and experience.

My pricing is not just about time or materials. It’s about the relationship between what I imagined and what I accomplished. It’s about honesty.

I know that not every painting will speak to every person. That’s okay. Art is personal. Some of my low-priced pieces have found homes where they’re deeply cherished. And some of my most refined works have waited patiently for the right person to connect with them.

So if the numbers on my site seem a little unpredictable, now you know why. My prices reflect not just the art—but the artist, too.
