Order Custom Artwork | Commissions by MJL Fine Art

commissions banner featuring original abstract art by local Calgary artist Mary-Jo Lough

Mary-Jo Lough enjoys working directly with clients. After connecting and discussing ideas, both parties will sign a contract outlining the project and expectations. The process, timeline, and payment structure will be discussed in the initial meeting and detailed in the contract. Commissions require a 50% payment to begin, with the remaining 50% due upon completion. Mary-Jo charges similar prices for commissions as for similarly sized pieces, unless there are unusual requests as part of the project.

commission testimonials

"Mary-Jo is such a talent. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and the piece she created, aptly titled "Frequency", is a perfect addition to a music lovers home.
Kelly Abedris
I love your work! I have purchased 4 pieces now, one for myself and the others as gifts to loved ones. Needless to say, they have all been very well received! I appreciate your kindness and patience when I commissioned a work but didn’t really know what I wanted. You were able to walk me through the process and I ended up with a fabulous addition to my collection!"

Mary-Jo is a very talented artist… a dream to work with. I gave her a very weird request for a commission and she knocked it out of the park. The depth and colouring in the work is a conversation piece in itself
Greg Alvas
I commissioned Mary-Jo due to her demonstrated dedication and passion to her craft . More importantly, I trusted her ability to interpret my vision and create a unique work of art with it. I am using this piece as a focal point in my home and absolutely love that I can tell the story of why this piece was brought to life. It will be something I hand down to my children because it is so timeless and telling, not just my story, but of resilience and survival in the face of desperation.
