What if your favourite place could become a painting—made from the very earth or light that shapes it?
I offer a limited number of commissions each season that begin with you and a place that holds meaning. Through a collaborative, process-led approach, we create something entirely unique—an artwork born from your landscape and brought to life through pigment, texture, and time.
The Journey Begins: LAND or LIGHT?
LIGHT Commission
A painting created using the light present at your site, captured through experimental cyanotype
LAND Commission
A painting made from the natural materials of your site -botanicals, ochres, and barks transformed into wild pigments.
This immersive commissioning experience offers more than just artwork. It's a journey of discovery, deeply connecting you to a significant place through the language of colour and texture.
How It Works
Your Commission Journey: 4 Stages
Exploration
We begin with a conversation about your place and its meaning followed by a site-visit where I gather colour and light.
Studio Alchemy
Back in the studio, I transform raw matter into paints, inks, and pigment. I experiment with these living materials to discover the colour story of your place, which I share with you in a bespoke Colour Pack.
Transformation
In the Studio two artworks emerge—each offering a different expression of your landscape.
The Reveal
This is the moment where everything comes together. You’ll choose the piece that resonates most, the one that truly embodies your place. Once chosen, your artwork is carefully prepared and shipped to you.
What You'll Receive
What You’ll Receive:
A completely unique artwork inspired by your chosen site.
A bespoke Colour Pack - Colour swatches, test pieces and pigment made from the land or light.
Studio Updates - Images, videos, reflections, collaboration.
A collaborative experience where your story is part of the piece.
Two finished artworks to choose from, created just for you.
If you feel called to honour a place that matters to you, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create something rooted, beautiful, and completely your own.

WHAT PAST CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“I was getting increasingly more excited about the final piece after every interaction with Kari, but nothing could have prepared me for the finished piece. To say it was like something come to life is an understatement, to this day it gives the impression of constant flux and entropy, like a snapshot of a microscope slide in the middle of a reaction, or a still of a deep ocean reef. “
“I will always be grateful for the entire experience of creating "Of Elemental Energy", and the fruits of the labour are just as rewarding as the process was. I cannot recommend Kari enough, the dedication, cooperation, creativity and the talent that went into materialising my nerdy musings is something I will be forever in awe of.”
“I am so proud to have my commission front and centre in my home, not only because of how breathtakingly beautiful it is, but because of how it came to be. Everyone who sees it in my house is blown away by it, and even more so when I explain how it was created.” - Zoe
