Custom Map Commissions

CLR Creations accepts a limited number of commissions annually for private and commercial interiors. Create custom map art of any location. Each work is informed by meaningful experiences, such as a favorite travel memory, a life milestone, or the distinct character of a resort, boutique hotel, or workspace. The painting becomes a visual narrative, translating place and memory into layered texture, color, and movement designed to live thoughtfully within its environment.

Private Collectors FAQ

  • All commission requests begin with a scheduled consultation. This conversation establishes fit, scope, and intent before any commitment is made.

    During the consultation we discuss:

    • The place or places informing the work

    • The story, memory, or purpose behind the commission

    • Intended environment (private residence, hospitality, commercial space)

    • Desired scale and orientation

    • Surface options and material considerations

    • Timeline expectations and installation context

    No sketches are produced. Instead, we align on concept, color direction, materials, scale, and emotional tone. This ensures clarity without constraining the work prematurely.

    If the project is a fit, a formal proposal and contract are issued following the consultation, and a non-refundable deposit of 40% is due to secure the booking.

  • Once booked, the concept is finalized through written agreement, reference discussion, and material selection. This includes:

    • Final size range

    • Surface selection

    • Color palette and material direction

    • Overall visual density and atmosphere

    Because the work is abstract and process driven, there are no preliminary sketches.

  • The painting process unfolds in stages. Clients receive progress updates at defined checkpoints.

    • Up to three revision points are included

    • Revisions are limited to adjustments within the agreed scope

    • Significant changes or requests beyond scope may incur additional fees

    The work is built through layered application, allowing for drying and curing between stages. This timeline cannot be rushed without compromising quality.

  • Once the painting is complete, final images are shared for approval. Upon approval, the remaining balance is due before delivery or shipment.

    All artwork is shipped insured and professionally packaged.

Commercial Partners FAQ

Commercial commissions are designed for hospitality groups, travel and tourism brands, corporate offices, and destination based businesses. Commercial commissions are structured, collaborative, and aligned with brand identity while maintaining artistic authorship. Each project is developed through consultation, concept approval, and milestone based production.

For commercial inquiries, please book a consultation to discuss scope, timeline, and licensing needs.

Key Differences at a Glance

Commercial projects often involve larger formats, multiple works, or series developed for specific locations or properties.

Stakeholders
Decisions may involve multiple reviewers such as design teams, brand managers, or ownership groups.

Timeline Coordination
Artwork production must align with construction, renovation, or opening schedules.

Usage and Licensing
Commercial display, marketing photography, and press usage require clearly defined licensing terms.
