Cait's Reverie

New Orleans · Washington, D.C. Area

Work

Art created for meaningful

spaces.

A commissioned mosaic is a slow, considered thing. Each piece is designed and

made specifically for the space it will live in — for its light, its scale, and the people

who will pass it every day.

The process

01

Inquiry

You share the space, the intention,

and a sense of timeline.

02

Consultation

A conversation about scale, materials, and light — in person when possible.

03

Concept & Proposal

A written proposal with sketches,

materials, and investment.

04

Agreement & Deposit

A signed agreement and a 50% deposit to reserve studio time.

05

Creation

The piece is made — usually over the course of weeks or months.

07

Delivery & Installation

White-glove delivery, and installation where appropriate.

Timeline & Investment

A few honest notes.

Most commissions take between four and nine months from first conversation to installation. Larger architectural pieces may take longer.

Investment varies with scale, materials, and complexity. A full proposal with specific pricing follows the consultation. Original private works typically begin around $4,500.
