Painting Studio in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Elisa Gomez Art maintains a dedicated painting studio in Sandy, Utah, producing large-scale abstract works on canvas for Salt Lake City homes, offices, and commercial interiors. The studio is organized around oil and acrylic painting at scale: controlled lighting for color accuracy, space for canvases as large as 76 by 54 inches, and the layered application process that defines the work's surface quality. Commissions for Salt Lake City spaces begin with an inquiry and a conversation about the dimensions, palette, and placement of the piece.
A Dedicated Painting Studio, Built for Abstraction at Scale.
Not all creative spaces are configured the same way. A studio organized around large-format oil and acrylic work requires sufficient floor and wall space to work at full canvas scale, lighting conditions that allow accurate color reading at different stages of a painting, and the time and physical conditions between layers that the medium demands. The studio at 3462 Greenhills Drive in Sandy is built around these requirements.
The studio is a production environment, not a gallery or a teaching space. Acrylic, oil, and oil pastel are applied to canvas in successive layers, each stage building toward the textural and chromatic complexity that defines Elisa Gomez's abstract work. For clients commissioning large-format paintings for professional interiors, this distinction is practical: the studio's physical setup is matched to the scale and medium it produces.
Oil, Acrylic, and Mixed Media - The Materials of the Work
The primary media in Elisa Gomez's paintings are acrylic, oil, and oil pastel on canvas. Select works incorporate latex on canvas for additional surface variation. Smaller series works are sometimes produced in acrylic on paper or panel. Most canvas works combine acrylic, oil, and oil pastel in a layered sequence, with each material serving a distinct structural role in the composition.
Acrylic establishes the initial color architecture and provides fast-drying coverage across the canvas. Oil paint adds depth and luminosity, staying workable longer and allowing fine adjustments to color relationships between layers. Oil pastel introduces linear mark-making and localized surface texture. The result of this accumulation is a surface that only partially photographs: the texture is physical, and the way it interacts with light in a room changes the work's appearance over the course of the day.
Color inspiration is drawn from Utah's natural environment. The green tones of the Wasatch Range, the shifting grays and blues of the Great Salt Lake, and the high-altitude light of the Salt Lake Valley translate into palette decisions that are geographical without being literal. The work carries the character of place without depicting it.
Large-Scale Paintings for Salt Lake City Spaces
The studio's production range spans from intimate paper works at 9 by 12 inches to large-format canvas paintings as large as 80 by 60 inches. Triptych/diptych works commonly extend to approximately 98 inches in total hanging width but are made to fit the space. This scale range covers the full spectrum of placement contexts in Salt Lake City: a collector's study, a corporate lobby, a hotel corridor, a residential great room, or a healthcare reception area.
For commercial interiors in the downtown core, the demand for large-format painted works is concentrated along The Blocks district, office buildings throughout the city center, and hospitality properties across the Salt Lake Valley. The studio produces original paintings for these environments through a commission process that begins with the client's specific spatial and design requirements.
Residential clients in The Avenues, Federal Heights, Sugar House, and Park City have commissioned works at the full range of available scales. A painting studio that can work on canvas from 30 to 80+ inches allows the work to be sized to the wall and the room, rather than the room being organized around a fixed-format piece. Work produced through the studio has been featured in House Beautiful (May 2025), The TAO groups' Marina Bay Sands Resort (June 2025), Architectural Digest (November 2022 and September 2016), and LUXE Interiors and Design (Winter 2018), demonstrating its placement across both residential and commercial interior contexts.

Commission a Painting Through the Studio
A commission for an original abstract painting begins with a conversation about four things: the dimensions of the wall or space, the dominant palette of the surrounding room, the architectural character of the environment, and the visual effect the client is seeking to establish. From that conversation, Elisa develops a new original painting on canvas sized to specification.
Every commission is a new original work. It is not a reproduction of an existing piece and not an exact adaptation of a previous composition.
The painting is produced in the studio in direct response to the space it will occupy, drawing on the same layered acrylic, oil, and oil pastel process as all studio work.
The process: initial inquiry by phone or contact form, a consultation in person at the Sandy studio or the clients space, execution in the studio, and delivery coordinated with the client or their installer. Timeline varies with the scale and complexity of the commission and is discussed during the consultation. Price is available upon request.

The studio at 3462 Greenhills Drive, Sandy, UT 84093 is available for private viewing appointments, fifteen minutes from downtown Salt Lake City via I-15 South. Viewing work in person is the most direct way to assess scale and surface quality before acquisition.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a painting studio and how is it different from an art studio?
A painting studio is a workspace organized specifically around painting as a medium: the physical conditions, materials, and space required for oil and acrylic work on canvas at scale. Elisa Gomez Art's studio in Sandy is configured for large-format abstract painting, with space for canvases as large as 80 by 60 inches and the layered application process that requires extended working time between stages. An art studio is a broader term; a painting studio is specific to the medium and its production demands.
What surfaces and painting media does Elisa Gomez use?
The primary surfaces are stretched canvas and panel. Primary media are acrylic, oil, and oil pastel; select works also incorporate latex on canvas. Smaller Espontánea series works are produced in acrylic on paper. Most canvas works combine acrylic, oil, and oil pastel in successive layers, with each medium contributing a different quality to the final surface: coverage and structure from acrylic, depth and luminosity from oil, and mark and texture from oil pastel.
Can the studio produce large-scale paintings for commercial spaces in Salt Lake City?
Yes. The studio produces large-format paintings for commercial interiors, including office lobbies, hospitality spaces, and healthcare environments in Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County. Available canvas sizes extend to 80+ square inches, triptych/diptych installations measurements are dependent on the space. Commissions for commercial spaces begin with a consultation about dimensions, palette, and placement context.
What sizes of paintings can be commissioned from the studio?
Canvas commissions are available from small scale to large format, with the studio's current production capacity reaching 80+ inches on a single canvas. Larger works would require additional coordination for creation space. Sizes outside this standard range can be discussed during a commission consultation. Some panel and paper works are available at smaller scales, beginning at8 by 10 inches.
How does the painting commission process work?
Commission inquiries begin by phone at +1 (602) 909-6730 or through the website contact form. A consultation follows, either in person at the Sandy studio or by video, covering dimensions, palette, architectural context, and the intended effect of the work in the space. Elisa then produces an original painting on canvas to specification. Delivery is coordinated with the client or their installer. Price is available upon request.
How long does a large-scale painting commission take to complete?
Timeline varies based on the scale and complexity of the commission and current studio production. Contact the studio at +1 (602) 909-6730 to discuss your project and receive a timeline estimate specific to your requirements.
