Make space for what matters.
Commemorative Commissions
What in your life needs a little extra care? What are you reveling in, celebrating, reflecting on? Are you processing grief, welcoming a grandchild, standing in awe at how much you’ve grown?
Your experiences matter. Commissions commemorate them.
Ryn’s personalized commissions feature her signature mark making and cyanotype process to create a collaborative piece expressive of, and inspired by, your experience.
Commissions include an exchange of self and story - all to authentically inform the final work. Ryn will ask you a brief series of reflective questions to encourage your story to fully come through. She will then create responsively, translating the emotional depth and personal narrative within your reflections onto the page.
The result is a one of a kind piece holding space for this moment through its display in your space or home.
Cyanotype for Jill
“I in care of all its mes,” A cyanotype created for Jill in recognition of the multitude of ways she is present for others. This work simultaneously celebrates Jill in her new caretaking roles, including “Gigi,” while commemorating her growth in learning to center and care for herself.
What’s the process?
Commission Inquiry
Begin the process by completing an inquiry form. Share the vision and purpose behind your commission as well as price and timeline details. If you have a tight timeline, please be sure to note this on the form.
2. Artist Connection
Ryn will reach out within 2-3 business days to learn more about what’s inspiring your commission and to schedule a conversation. This could take place in studio or virtually. If you prefer not to meet, you may also share your responses through email. A 30% payment deposit will be collected at this stage.
3. Art Making - Work in Progress!
Ryn will create the work in studio. You are encouraged to join in on these studio sessions to see the work in progress. You may also request photos of the work in progress and express feedback. If you prefer, you can also choose not to see the work until it is completed!
Depending on the specific commission, artworks may take 1 - 2 weeks to complete. The remaining 70% of the commission fee will be collected upon completion, and before shipment, of the work.
4. Delivery and Review
Your completed piece will be carefully packaged and shipped. In person delivery is available for Chicago locals. If you are at all unsatisfied with the piece, you have up to 2 weeks to reach out and express your dissatisfaction. Ryn will work with you to find a solution, which may include a remake of the work. Refunds will not be admitted.
