An AO Original – For Fans, Collectors and Families
The Commission Work by AO
AO, an extraordinary sports painter, portrait painter, designer and artist, out of Kansas City, with an exceptional eye for layout, composition and the addition touch of grit to his work.
Every project is designed with thought, intent, passion and over 20 years of art & design experience.
*Please note, an AO Original is different than an AO Live Painting piece. Please visit his Live Painting page for fundraising opportunities.
Prices / Fees
Project fees vary. We understand budgets and the love of original art for your home, business or man/woman-cave.
AO’s most common sizes for original art are 2ft x 3ft (24″x36″), 3ft x 4ft (36″x48″) or larger, but if your wall space or budget is for something smaller, we totally understand, just e-mail or give us a call (leave a message) via our contact page.
I am always glad to chat with our clients about their budgets and I can create pieces for home, business or loved one.
