I take great joy in working with private clients and galleries who want to commission artwork for a specific space or occasion. Click on my Clients In-Situ page to see a selection of my work commissioned by private collectors and interior designers around the world. The commission process begins with a simple email inquiry to karlienvanrooyen@gmail.com and is outlined step-by-step below.
Step-by-Step Guide:
︎ Email: Click on the bold type below to access my contact form, or copy my email into your own browser. Email: karlienvanrooyen@gmail.com
︎ Brief: Start by outlining the style of artwork and the number of pieces you are after. You can include a description of the shape and glaze effect you prefer. Attaching screenshots of the style of work you enjoy helps me tremendously but I am also happy to create something new (click here for my Instagram to take screenshots).
︎ Size: Outline any specific dimension parameters you need for the work to fit in the space you have in mind. It helps to attach photos of the area to assist me in envisioning the artwork.
︎ Crating and Shipping: Crates are built to the exact size of your commission and will be included as a separate item on the commission quote. If pickup is not an option for you, shipping costs are calculated on a cost-only basis according to the crate volume and your location. Please include a detailed shipping address for an accurate quote.
I work with an incredible global shipping team, handling everything from custom crating to door-to-door courier services. I use custom-built, foam-lined wooden crates (internationally compliant, heat-treated, and fumigated wood) and a full door-to-door courier service that offers highly competitive rates from South Africa. I have successfully sent large crates around the world without a single breakage, delivering to destinations such as Australia, America, China, the Middle East, and Europe.
Summary of what to include in your email inquiry:
︎ Brief; outline what you are after, including if it is for a specific space or occasion.
︎ Screenshots indicating your preferred artwork style
︎ Size restrictions for your space
︎ Shipping address for a courier quote if you are not collecting from Cape Town
