Custom Artwork with Rachelle Cunningham

Commissioning an artwork by Rachelle Cunningham is a beautiful personal and poetic experience, from start to finish. Each artwork she creates begins with you and your most cherished memories, a beloved person, a fleeting moment you wish to preserve forever. Through her known illustration and painterly gestures, Rachelle transforms your inspirations into an artwork that will live with you forever. Whether created as a gift for someone you love or as a personal treasure for your home, a commissioned piece becomes truly an object of affection. Every artwork is created individually in Rachelle’s studio in Paris or Athens and no two commissions are ever the same. Leaving you with a piece both incredibly unique and special. A boudoir moment.

The Process

Step 1 — Initial Inquiry

Begin by contacting the atelier atelier@rachellecunningham.com to schedule a complimentary 15-minute call with Rachelle. During this conversation, you will discuss your ideas, inspirations, reference images, preferred sizes, and the overall mood of the artwork. This call allows you to better understand the creative process and ensures the project feels aligned before beginning.

Step 2 — Booking Your Commission

Following the consultation, the atelier will confirm the details of your commission and provide an invoice.
A 50% deposit secures your place in the commission calendar. Flexible instalment options may be available for certain projects.

Step 3 — Creation

Rachelle then begins developing the artwork in her studio. Each piece is created slowly and thoughtfully, allowing time for the work to unfold naturally. Note she will always send you a rough draft in pencil of what direction she feels most inspired by before she begins to see if this is the direction you feel good with. Once agreed on she will continue on to paint the final artwork. Note the process typically requires approximately six weeks, depending on the complexity of the piece and the season.

Step 4 — Delivery

Once completed, the artwork is carefully prepared for its journey to you using express shipping. Each piece is wrapped in delicate paper, accompanied by dried flowers and a handwritten note from the artist, she takes great pleasure in the details of the packaging, a small ritual that reflects the intimate spirit of the commission.
