Staysean is a visual artist, educator, and beekeeper, living a life infused with creativity, colour, and a little sweetness. Her work is rooted in storytelling and inspired by the vibrant textures of Jamaican culture. "Through bold illustrations, expressive paintings, and vibrant prints, I explore themes of movement, emotion, and connection."

A recurring subject in her work is the female figure—captured in charcoal, ink, and pastels. "I’m endlessly fascinated by the ways the body holds memory, emotion, and power. These pieces celebrate the intimacy, strength, and mystery found in feminine form, often blurring the line between realism and abstraction."

FAQs

I want multiple figures in the same painting

For small portraits of more than one person/animal, there can be an extra fee per additional figure:

+ 20% per animal

+ 40% per human

This will be calculated depending on the portrait complexity and size. For example, in big portraits usually there's no extra fee.

How much time does this take?

⭐️HOLIDAYS:

I will be accepting commissions for holidays until June 6th. Digital commissions will be accepted up to June 16.

Speed can be adjusted to your needs. 

If we're in a hurry, like holidays, I can finish a commission much sooner!

For normal times, a month for the whole process: we talk, plan, I paint, we talk again, make changes if needed, dry time, varnish time, dry again, certificate, goodies, packing and shipping :)

How's payment done? Can I do instalments?

Once we agree in all the details, I'll send you the invoice with the payment link. You can choose between debit/credit card, PayPal, Direct deposit, wire transfers. 

Payment is made upfront but you can set up instalments with Paypal.

Can I choose format/materials?

Depending on the size, I'll choose the best materials for the painting. While my preference may be charcoal or watercolour paper, we can also use cotton or linen canvas, wooden panel, oil paper. Of course, you can suggest which one you prefer so we can consider this beforehand.

This doesn't fit my budget :( what can I do?

No stress! If you have a specific budget we can wiggle the numbers by adjusting the size, the format, materials, making it digital.

We can also split the payment and you can secure your commission until you've comfortably paid.

Just let me know your needs :)
