Jill's public studio is located in downtown Orangeville Ontario at the Dragonfly, Arts on Broadway, and is open six days of the week (map to location is on the Contact Page)

Jill is able to complete portraits for long distance clients.

The commission process is actually quite simple. Jill (S. J. Pringle) usually meets with the client(s), and together they come up with a vision for the piece. Clients sometimes have an exact idea of how the finished piece should look, while other clients will ask Jill to give suggestions until a final composition is worked out.

Jill can work directly from existing photos, or put together pieces from different photos She is also able to incorporate imagination into the commission if required.

She is available to take her own photos. Once a vision is reached for the piece, both parties sign a simple contract outlining the medium, size, due date etc A fifty percent deposit is then given, and Jill starts the commission.

Depending on the detail and the time of year, it may take anywhere from three weeks, to two months to complete.

Once the art work is completed, Jill meets again with the client(s) to unveil the finished piece. Once in a while some changes may be required at which time Jill will complete them.

Once the client(s) are pleased with their commission, the other fifty percent is given.

Jill uses only high quality materials in her work so the commissions she creates can be enjoyed for generations.
