Where the work goes

Design & architecture

Residential and hospitality projects

Originals sourced to a palette, a dimension, and a deadline. Send the wall photograph and its width and you will get a scaled mockup rather than an invitation to imagine.

Professional offices

Law, finance, and consulting

Lobbies, conference rooms, and partner offices, where the work has to hold a large wall and survive years of being looked at by people who are waiting. Larger Conjunctions pieces are built for exactly this.

Healthcare & wellness

Clinics and therapeutic spaces

Not every painting suits every room. Work for clinical and behavioral-health settings is chosen for steady color and open composition — nothing that asks a hard question of someone having a hard day. The studio will say plainly when a piece is wrong for a space, which is considerably cheaper than discovering it after installation.

How a project runs

Step one

Register and describe the project

Firm, contact, project type, and resale certificate if you have one. Registration takes one email and does not commit you to anything.
Step two

Receive a curated selection

A short list of available originals matched to your dimensions, palette, and budget, with trade pricing shown alongside retail. Six good options beat sixty.
Step three

Mockup, hold, or trial

Scaled room mockups for client approval, a ten-day hold while they decide, or delivery on approval for Austin projects. Mockups are planning aids, not prophecies: screen color and room light are different animals.
Step four

Delivery and installation

Studio delivery and hanging within the Austin metro. Insured freight beyond it, quoted by work and destination.

Commissions and scale

When nothing available fits the wall, the wall gets its own painting. Commissioned work begins with dimensions, the character of the room, a working budget, and an honest conversation about what the painting has to accomplish. Palette can be coordinated to a specification without the result becoming furniture.
