My
name is Celeste Gillis, and I'm an
artist who has been specializing in
portraiture for the past decade; accepting commissions from clients
throughout North America as well as overseas. I studied Fine Arts at
the Ontario
College of Art and Design, and have worked as an Art Consultant for
various galleries, as well as curated several art shows and music
events. If you
are interested in commissioning a portrait, please browse the
information below and feel free to contact me at
celeste@charcoalpetportraits.com
with any inquiries, or to to place your order.
PRICING:
My
portraits are $175 for a 14" x 17" drawing with one pet, and $100 for
each additional pet in the same portrait. All portraits are
composed on archival quality vellum bristol, then spray coated with a
matte fixative. Please inquire for larger
sizing options. Prices are in both CAD & USD.
TURNAROUND: Anywhere from 2-6 weeks, depending on my workload at the time. The Christmas season is particularly busy, so please have your orders in A.S.A.P. Also, if you have a specific deadline please let me know ahead of time so that I can accommodate your needs.
PHOTOS: Please provide one or more close up, clear and detailed photos of your pet(s). The larger the photos, the easier to work with. You can provide me with originals, or email me high resolution (large sized) digital pictures, which are even better. If you are not sure, feel free to send me photos and we can decide together.
PAYMENT: What I will require from you is a 50% deposit, either via cheque, PayPal, or direct deposit; with the balance and shipping paid upon completion. Please email me for further payment details and information.
FRAMING: I do not provide framing myself, though I can certainly have the piece custom framed for you. If you are on a budget, my 14" x 17" portraits work nicely with a standard 16" x 20" frame.
SHIPPING & DELIVERY: Shipping within Canada and the US is a standard $30 for regular mail. Priority or International shipping will require a custom quote which I would be happy to obtain for you. If you are in the downtown Toronto area and are able to pick up the piece in person (or if it's an easy commute for me) there is no delivery charge.
GIFT
CERTIFICATES:
I offer Gift Certificates in any amount over $25. They have been
popular as gifts, as well as submissions for raffles and charity
events. You can view a sample Gift Certificate here
