A note on commissions

Kim accepts a limited number of commissions each year so that every piece receives her full attention. Her commissioned work has included pieces for Olympians, corporations, and private collectors. Pricing depends on size and complexity and is discussed during your consultation; originals in the collection range from $1,800 to $12,000, and commissions are quoted individually.

To begin, tell Kim a little about your horse below, or browse the current collection to get a feel for her style. If you are deciding which reference images to send, read the guide to photographing your horse for a painted portrait.
