About Erin’s Custom Art:

Many collectors love buying art straight off the wall, but commissioning a custom painting allows you to get a piece created specifically for your home, style, and story.

There are many reasons people commission artwork from Pacific Northwest artist Erin Oostra. Sometimes you fall in love with a painting but the size does not work for your wall. Other times you may want to turn a favorite place, memory, or photograph into a meaningful piece of art. Interior designers also frequently commission custom artwork when a room calls for specific colors, scale, or visual balance.

Whatever your reason for commissioning a piece, having a clear idea of what you love is a great place to start. Sharing inspiration, colors, photos, or spaces helps guide the creative process and ensures the final artwork fits beautifully in your home.

Erin Oostra specializes in modern abstract paintings and contemporary landscape art inspired by the Pacific Northwest. Her abstract work is often designed to set the mood of a room with layered color, movement, and texture that complements a space without overwhelming it.

For collectors looking for something more connected to a place or memory, Erin also creates nature inspired impressionistic landscapes with modern elements. These contemporary landscape paintings are her most requested custom commissions and often reflect mountains, water, and the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

FOR
INSPIRATION:

So you want some custom PNW art?
Here is what the process looks like:

  • Three abstract art paintings featuring bold blue and black brushstrokes hanging on a white wall above a white shelf with green potted plants and white decorative objects.

    1. Reach out

    Reach out via the form below and let me know about you and what type of artwork you are looking for. This is also when you can let me know what color(s) and size you have in mind, share any inspirational photos (that you have taken or saved), and reference any of my previous work if you’ve noted something you like that I’ve already done.

  • A woman with long blonde hair leaning on a large abstract painting outdoors on a deserted road during sunset or sunrise, with rolling hills in the background and a clear sky.

    2. Let's chat

    Awesome! I am excited to work with you. Fill out the form at the bottom of this page and I will respond as soon as possible to clarify any questions I may have about the artwork you are interested in (rough pricing graph below). We will nail down the size, color, price, and art style you are looking for. We can also discuss shipping, pick-up, or delivery options.

  • Modern living room with large windows, a dark blue tufted sofa, a framed black and white mountain artwork, a gold floor lamp, a glass side table with a lamp, and a black and gold coffee table with a small decorative duck and a vase with flowers.

    3. Green light

    Contracts will be formed laying out each detail previously discussed. Don’t be scared- This contract essentially says that you will pay and I will create. Upon digital signature, 50% of the payment will be required as a deposit. The remaining 50% will be charged on the day of the shipment/delivery/pick up. These payments will be invoiced securely online and can be paid digitally via credit card.

  • A woman stands outdoors in a field with pale sky, observing a painting of mountains on an easel.

    4. I get to work

    Once the deposit has been made, I will begin working. Each commission painting usually takes about 3-5 weeks to create but if you have a specific/faster completion date in mind, I can do my best to work with you to make that happen. I will also email you photos of the painting as progress is made to keep you updated as possible on your artwork.

  • Modern interior with a landscape painting of snowy mountain peaks in black, white, and gray on a table, beige dried plants, and a white textured chair.

    5. You get your custom art

    When the painting is complete, I will let you know. Free pick-up is available from my art gallery in Ellensburg, Washington. Occasional complimentary delivery is possible in Central Washington or to the Seattle area if previously arranged. Shipment anywhere in the USA is available as well, with pricing dependent on the size of the artwork.

  • Woman standing on the side of a rural road holding picture frames with wind turbines in the background

    6. You're happy

    Now the fun begins! Your beautiful new commissioned artwork is hanging in your home and the painting brings the room together. Not only that, but you adore it and you couldn’t be more thrilled about what a fun and easy experience you had working with me! Now you go tell all your friends and they request their own custom art as well.

Art investment

The cost of commissioned artwork is determined by the size artwork you'd like me to create for you. Rates start at $1100 for a 16x20" and go up to $3000 for 48x60” master canvas. Below is a rough look at some of the most popular sizes but please reach out if you’ve got another size in mind:

A woman with blonde hair styled in a bun sits on a white surface, wearing a black turtleneck and paint-splattered overalls. She is surrounded by her artwork, which includes mountain landscape paintings in shades of black, white, and gray. She appears to be in an art studio or gallery, with art supplies like brushes and canvases visible in the foreground.
Price list chart comparing different canvas sizes, costs, and set options for images. The sizes range from 16x20 inches to 48x60 inches, with costs from $1100 to $3000. Set options include different pricing for buying multiple items.

Consider a set option such as a "triptych" or a "diptych" set for your home: a painting that continues across two or three separate canvases, giving the art a unique, exciting look and offered at a slight discount.
