I can create personalized commissions to commemorate any special occasion or help you create your own heirloom painting.

Using different materials such as family photos, birth announcements, lace, fabric, newspaper clippings, I will work to create a piece of art that expresses ideas or emotions of special meaning to you. We may design it to suit a specific space, location or environment.

If you would like to discuss a commission, please email msteenart@aol.com or call me, 314-994-1196.





I have 2 types of commissions available.

In the first type, if you see a piece on the site that is already sold or close to what you had in mind, I can create a piece customized for you, a piece similar to a piece on the website but different for you in color, size or tone.

I do not ask for payment in advance and you are not obligated to purchase the piece. We can speak by telephone about specifics and you can send me photographs of the space for which we are designing the piece.

In the second type of commission, we collaborate to create a personal piece for a special occasion as an heirloom painting for you and your family.

For a personal commission of this type, I ask for 50% deposit and the balance on approval of the piece.

Your painting becomes a scrapbook that hangs on a wall to be passed for generations without deteriorations that can occur with a piece that does not hang.

The occasions for which I have created pieces in the past include: wedding gifts, ketubahs, baby christenings, anniversary celebrations, graduations, promotions, and special birthdays.

The locations for which I have created customized artworks include hospitals, legal offices and corporate offices.
