Commissions
Can’t quite find the perfect piece for that awkward space in your home or office? Or maybe an artwork has already caught your eye, but it’s not quite the right size or colour … please feel free to be in touch to inquire about that special piece of art made just for you.
I really enjoy working with clients to a brief that suits them, I enjoy the problem solving of sorting materials, size, price, colour etc.
Then I am inspired to create something special.
I love hearing from my buyers as they enjoy my art in their home.
If you have some of my work and would like it to be included on this page, please do get in touch via the Contact Liz page, and I will add it here, images can be sent later via email.
Below are a few examples of commissions that I have made so far.
Sandy & Pete Kerikeri
We recently moved into our place in Kerikeri and wanted to add some colour to our walls. We commissioned Liz to create a piece for us that would standout and be impactful. She did just that! Liz made sure we were fully engaged in the whole process, sharing the stages of her work and asking for our feedback. She is incredibly talented, patient, humble and such a lovely person to work with. The end result is “Wow”. We love it. It is hard to find the right words for someone who has poured so much into creating this magnificent piece. Truly, thank you Liz!

"After looking through Liz's collection of leaves I could not find a leaf that was quite what I envisaged for our lounge wall. I did however find a large leaf that displayed the character that I loved.
Liz offered to re-paint the leaf for me to fit my requirements. Through this process, Liz was very accommodating, kept in touch with me and also sent photos of the progress. After the leaf had time to dry it was posted and arrived in a day, well packaged and safe. On opening the parcel I was not too sure how I felt, but once it was mounted up on the wall, wow, the leaf came to life and was certainly in the right home! It looks absolutely stunning. Thank you Liz you are a pleasure to work with."
Leigh Hawkes’ Bay
“I commissioned Liz to create a piece of art to cover an area in our stairwell in our new holiday home. My brief was just Kiwiana. We both loved the colour and form of the Kowhai flowers. Liz then thoroughly researched photos of Kowhai and with her attention to detail totally deconstructed the flowers to understand their form. Liz fully immersed herself in creating this larger than life piece of art. We are delighted with our Kowhai which hangs alongside two other Liz McAuliffe originals. Her work is much admired by our guests.”

“Liz McAuliffe did a wonderful job of creating sculpted ‘envelopes’ that were full of meaning for my brother and I. They evoke memories of our parents and our home of origin in Hawkes Bay. Visiting Liz’s home and studio to collect the commissioned works was a pleasure. They speak of her passion for the world around us in all its fullness – especially in the beautiful Hokianga”
All pictures are taken in the clients’ own homes, all photos are their property.
