Commissions

I take commissions for both mixed media artwork and abstract fluid art. Due to the personalised nature of commissions, there is a 50% deposit before starting. Here I outline the process of requesting a commission. If you are interested in commissioning a piece, please use the form or email below to get in touch.

I have included some client testimonials below and you can also see a sample of past commissions or view the Portfolio page for more sold and commissioned pieces.


Mixed Media

Many of the mixed media requests, are for a personalised piece for a special person, with an industrial/steampunk feel. In this case I ask the client to write out a list of things relating to the person for whom the piece is being made:

  • Interests, hobbies, sports
  • What are they passionate about?
  • What are their values?
  • Any little fun quirks or habits?
  • Any stories or anecdotes

This usually leads to more conversations to delve deeper and understand the most important ideas. I then source or create objects to symbolise those ideas and begin creating the piece.

Fluid Art

Due to the Nature of fluid art, it is not possible to replicate an existing piece or to fully predict the final result. This is why each piece of fluid art is 100% unique.  With this in mind, when a fluid art piece is commissioned I will discuss the following with the client:
  • Colours
  • General style and composition
  • size and orientation (landscape/portrait/square)
Once the paint has dried and fully cured (usually a week or two) the painting will be finished with 2-3 coats of gloss or semi-gloss varnish.




Testimonials

Patricia

It is the most wonderful, beautiful, loving and thoughtful gift    

 I was one lucky person when I heard about Niki and her special art and actually got to see one of her pieces that a friend of mine had received as a gift. I thought it was the nicest piece of art that I had seen. I asked Niki if she could commission a special piece for my sister's 60th birthday. It was absolutely amazing and my sister was totally overcome with emotion when she received it. Her words were " it is the most wonderful, beautiful, loving and thoughtful gift I've ever received"

Niki is so easy to work with. Just give her some basic information on the person and she comes up with the ideas to depict the person's life past and present. Each piece is handmade and put together so delicately.

I would definitely recommend Niki if its a very special piece of art that you require.

A pleasure to deal with

I had been lucky to see some of Niki’s previous work so when I commissioned a mixed media piece from her, I knew she wouldn’t disappoint. And she didn’t! After talking through some ideas, Niki created a beautiful piece which completely captured the essence I was after. A pleasure to deal with, I would highly recommend Niki for any commission. Niki, I look forward to seeing what you create next!

Just Brilliant

I commissioned Niki to make a one off piece for a friends very special birthday. Niki was very easy to deal with, she listened and explored ideas with me, made suggestions and once we had agreed on the style and finish she was ready to start. The end result was exactly what I was after, a one off unique piece of personalised art. My friend was delighted. Just Brilliant!

If you are looking for a unique gift or something that little bit special then Niki Keane is the girl for you!

Perfect present with a difference

Perfect present with a difference. Niki has a great eye and a creative mind. She created two unique pieces for me - one for my sister's 60th birthday and one for my son's wedding. Both recipients were bowled over with the finished products that told a story in their own right.

I cannot commend Niki highly enough for the dedication she applies to each project she undertakes.

I absolutely love it 

My personally made piece, I absolutely love it. Niki was so easy to deal with and got me so well with two words "black" and "industrial"...not a lot to go on to be fair but she absolutely nailed it.

Thanks again Niki
