At this point in my career, I consider myself an expert when it comes to commissioned art. I have a formula that works for all involved.

The client will never feel uncomfortable or insecure about the result.

My formula? Ask questions before the project is started and keep the client ‘in the loop’ through every step in the creative process.

A few specific questions to start:

What scale? If the client needs help with that, I’d be happy to assist.

What paintings or images of mine did you see to attract you to seek out a commission? I usually have the client select two images from my portfolio. Then I create a mock-up or rendering of the two for approval.

After the image is selected, I ask for a 50% deposit, or you could check out and pay in full via my page on this website ‘Original Paintings and Ltd Editions’ where specific sizes are listed. I can create in any scale, so please ask.

Colors? I ask for specific colors, such as paint chips or fabrics that would be in the space that I will incorporate into the work.

Once these few steps are taken, I move on to starting the process.

As the project is moving along, I send the client images for approval before I continue on. This way everyone involved is on the same page and the outcome will be exactly what they had in mind. If something needs to be tweaked, no problem.

I make the process from beginning to end, easy and fun.

“I have known Margaret Juul for nearly 9 years, when we signed her on as an artist to publish fine art prints of her work. When I first saw her work online I knew that it was special and that we had to publish it. Once I spoke with Margaret, I knew that I had to work with her. Over these many years working together, Margaret has continuously demonstrated a creative brilliance, high level of professionalism, and strong business acumen that makes her stand out in the ranks of the artists we work with. Margaret is a prolific creator and regularly sends us art for review so our customers know they can rely on her to always have new images available for their projects. We have published over 300 of Margaret’s images and her work is regularly selected for residential, hotel, and healthcare interior design projects. We are often working on time-sensitive collections and Margaret is always quick to respond to inquiries. Along with her exceptional creative eye, Margaret also has an eye for spotting color trends early in their cycle, so her work is always timely and fresh. She has built a body of work that is all her own and is immediately identifiable as hers, which is inspiring and commendable. In addition to her painting skill, Margaret is also adept at marketing the work she creates through social media, licensing, interviews in various publications, and other outlets. She is also an advocate for artists and the arts, which makes her an ideal candidate for teaching and sharing her skills and knowledge, while inspiring others to create with passion. It is a pleasure and an honor to work with Margaret and learn from her and be inspired by her creativity and her work ethic. I highly recommend her for any endeavor she chooses to pursue.”
