ABIGAIL HUMPHRIES ART
Commissions
It is a privilege to create a work that is shaped in dialogue with a specific space, vision, or collection. Each commission is approached with the same care and attention as my studio practice, resulting in a painting that is both personal and enduring.
Commission Process
The commission process begins with an initial conversation to discuss scale, palette, atmosphere, and composition. Following this discussion, I will provide a quotation tailored to the brief. To confirm a commission, a 50% deposit is required at the time of booking, securing your commission and allowing work to begin on the materials for the piece.
You are very welcome to visit my studio and gallery, where selected current works and exhibition pieces may be viewed in person. Often, seeing the paintings in person helps to shape the direction of a commission and can open up new possibilities. If an in-person visit is not possible, I am equally happy to continue the conversation by email or video call.
Commissioned works typically take between one and three months to complete, depending on scale and complexity. Throughout the process, I will provide regular updates so that you remain closely informed and have the opportunity to respond at key stages before the work is completed.
Delivery or collection can be arranged as required.
Complimentary delivery is available within a 15-mile radius. Commissions are quoted individually according to scale, complexity, and the specific requirements of the brief. A commission fee of 20% applies to reflect the additional consultation, development, revisions, and administrative time involved in creating a bespoke work.

Feeling so grateful for these kind words from Clare and Paul who I had to privilege to create this commission for:
“We came across Abi when attending The Other Art Fair in London. Abi’s work resonated with us immediately, nothing else came close. We wanted a piece of art for our home that represented us as a family. Abi made the whole process so easy, she listened to our ideas, incorporated her own and provided sketches for us to choose from. This was the hardest part, we loved them all. Once the decision was made, Abi began creating. It was incredible receiving the updates and getting to see each part of the creation process. The finished piece is now on the wall. We couldn’t adore it anymore. We could stare at it for hours. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Abi. Thank you Abi, I know we will be back for more.”
Clare & Paul
"Back in June, my husband and I came across Abigail's Art Gallery during a visit to Ludlow. We were instantly taken with her work and her ethos and decided to commission a family legacy piece for our home.
The painting depicts Brienz in Switzerland and is the view from the spot where my husband proposed. To make it extra special, we were able to supply some sand from a beach in Scotland where my grandmother grew up for Abigail to use as part of the base layer.
Abigail has kept us posted at every stage of the painting creation, providing photos and film along the way and requesting feedback to ensure it is exactly what we had envisaged.
The final work, "Stille" was delivered last week and we're blown away. It's amazing, from the perfect depiction of the aqua blue lake to the romantic ambience of a place that means so much to us.
We can't thank Abigail enough and "Stille" will be treasured, always."

"We have never commissioned a picture before but we couldn't be more delighted with the end results and likeness of our beloved dog Emmi.
"Abigail was wonderful to work with and communication was brilliant throughout. We are eternally grateful."
