❓Frequently Asked Questions

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

🎨 COMMISSIONS

Are you accepting commissions?

Yes — I accept a limited number of custom commissions each season. Because commissioned work requires deep creative focus and presence, I am selective about the projects I take on. All commissions must align with my artistic language, process, and availability.

What types of commissioned work do you offer?

I create original, one-of-a-kind works in my signature black-and-white pen and ink style, as well as mixed media encaustic work on wooden panel. My work is intuitive, intentional, and often rooted in symbolism, florals, poetry, or personal meaning.

I do not offer portrait commissions, logo design, branding packages, or decorative pattern design.

What is your pricing?

• Pen & ink works on paper begin at $1,250 USD

• Mixed media encaustic works on panel begin at $2,000 USD

Final pricing is determined by size, complexity, material, and timeline.

Do you offer an initial consultation?

Yes. All commissions begin with a paid consultation.

This allows us to discuss alignment, scope, timeline, and whether the project is a fit. The consultation fee is non-refundable; if the project moves forward, the fee is applied toward the total cost.

What is the payment structure?

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your place on my calendar. The remaining balance is due prior to delivery.

How long do commissions take?

Timelines vary depending on scale, level of detail, and current availability.

Rush timelines may be possible in limited circumstances and are priced accordingly.

Can revisions be made?

Due to the permanence of the medium, revisions are not possible once the drawing or painting process has begun. We align clearly on direction before work starts.

Who owns the artwork and rights?

All commissioned work is for personal use only unless otherwise agreed in writing. I retain full copyright to all original artwork.

🧱 MURALS & SITE-SPECIFIC WORK

Do you accept mural or site-specific commissions?

Yes — on a very limited basis. Site-specific work is considered selectively and only when the project strongly aligns with my practice, timeline, and creative approach.

What is the starting investment?

Murals and site-specific work begin at $5,000 USD.

Where are you based, and do you travel?

I am based in Palm Beach County, Florida, USA.

Travel may be considered for aligned site-specific projects. All travel-related expenses (including transportation, lodging, and per diem) are the responsibility of the client and are quoted separately.

How is pricing determined?

Projects are quoted by proposal following a consultation. Final pricing reflects scale, surface conditions, level of detail, preparation requirements, installation considerations, travel, and timeline.

Because my primary practice is studio-based, large-scale or site-specific work is priced to account for planning, adaptation, and the intensive nature of the process.

✍️ ILLUSTRATION FOR COMMERCIAL & CREATIVE PROJECTS

Do you offer illustration for brands or companies?

Yes. I offer custom illustration for publishers, brands, creative teams, and agencies. Artwork is delivered in high-resolution digital format and may be used for packaging, campaigns, publications, stationery, product décor, accessories, gifts, and related applications.

Each project is quoted individually based on scope, usage, and timeline.

Rates reflect concept development, hand-drawn artwork, digitization, and limited revisions if needed.

All rights remain with the artist unless otherwise agreed in writing.

---

🖼️ LICENSING

Do you license your artwork for commercial use?

Yes — select existing works are available for licensing. Licensing allows brands, publishers, and collaborators to use my artwork in specific, agreed-upon ways while I retain full copyright ownership.

I do not sell or transfer copyright.

All licensed artwork remains the intellectual property of the artist. Licensing grants limited, defined usage rights only, as outlined in a written agreement.

Licensing fees vary based on the artwork, usage type, duration, exclusivity, and distribution scope. Whether you’re interested in using a piece for editorial, product design, stationery, packaging, textiles, home décor, or another application, I’m happy to discuss the details.

Please note: I am represented by Rosenstiels (London, England) for fine art publishing in the category of wall décor. As a result, certain pieces are not available for licensing at this time. If you’re unsure whether a particular work is available, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to clarify.

To inquire about licensing availability and rates, please contact me via the form or email hello@virginiakraljevic.com with details about your intended use.

🎤 SPEAKING, TEACHING & MEDIA

Do you offer speaking engagements, guest lectures, or panel appearances?

Yes — I’m available for select speaking engagements, panels, and moderated conversations centered on art, creativity, creative confidence, and the evolving life of an artist. Past engagements have included colleges, creative institutions, brands, and community events.

Do you teach or lead workshops?

Yes — I offer select workshops, talks, and experiential sessions for creative communities, students, and organizations. My approach is process-based and intuitive, focusing on creative exploration, confidence-building, and helping individuals trust their creative voice and understand the many ways a creative life can unfold.

Are you available for podcasts, interviews, or media features?

Yes — I welcome aligned podcast invitations, interviews, and media features. I enjoy thoughtful conversations around creativity, the artist’s journey, intuition, self-trust, pricing and value, and building a sustainable creative life. Media requests are considered selectively based on alignment and timing.

Availability is limited, and all engagements are considered on an aligned, case-by-case basis.

To inquire, please reach out via the contact form or email hello@virginiakraljevic.com with details about your event, audience, and timeline.

💬 CREATIVE CONSULTATIONS

Do you offer mentorship or consultations?

Yes — I offer Creative Consultations, designed as focused, one-on-one conversations rather than long-term mentorship.

These sessions are especially supportive for:

• Artists at the beginning of their creative journey

• Creatives seeking clarity, confidence, or direction

• Parents of creative children navigating questions around education, career viability, and next steps

Conversations often include discussing creative pathways beyond traditional or expected routes, building trust in one’s instincts, understanding the many ways a creative life can unfold, and addressing practical concerns with grounded perspective.

Do you offer long-term mentorship?

Long-term mentorship is considered on a very selective basis and is not offered as a standard program. When available, it typically grows out of an existing consultation and a sense of mutual alignment.

What is the format and rate?

Creative Consultations are $300 USD for a 60-minute session.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your time.

Each session is intentionally tailored. You’re welcome to arrive with specific questions or topics you’d like to explore.
