What kind of bird can I commission?

Bird commissions work best when there is a clear subject, story or feeling behind the piece. You might commission a portrait of your own bird, a native bird you love, or a bold bird artwork for a specific room.

  • pet bird portraits
  • native bird portraits
  • multi-bird compositions
  • statement bird artworks for a home or office
  • bird paintings inspired by a favourite species, colour palette or mood.

Loved Garry the gang-gang cockatoo?

The original Garry has sold. I do not create exact replicas of sold originals, but I can create a new, one-off bird painting with a similar bold presence, colour and personality.

Large statement bird commissions start from $3,000 AUD unframed (90 x 90cm) and are quoted individually. Each piece is based on a different bird, pose, colour story and mood.

If you are looking for a more accessible Garry option, framed open edition prints are available separately for $400 AUD + delivery. Please enquire via email hello@kellybatsiokisart.com or through my form below.

The process

How it works

Framed bird art prints by Kelly Batsiokis

Step 1: Tell me your bird idea

Share whether the piece is based on your pet bird, a native bird, a favourite species or a broader idea.

Step 2: Share reference images

Personal photos are best. If you are using another image, you need permission to use it.

Step 3: Quote and deposit

I’ll confirm size, scope, framing and delivery needs via a Commission Agreement. A 40% deposit secures your place.

Step 4: Painting begins

I create the artwork and provide agreed updates along the way.

Step 5: Final payment and delivery

The balance is due before collection or delivery. Framing and shipping can be arranged if needed.

Is a bird commission right for you?

A bird commission may be a good fit if you want an original artwork with colour, character and presence, and you connect with the way I paint birds.

This may not be the right fit if you are looking for a small budget pet portrait, a quick sketch, a digital file, or an exact copy of a photo or sold artwork.
