Commissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A painting made especially for you<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s a portrait of someone special, a much-loved pet or a place filled with memories, I create bespoke paintings and drawings that celebrate the people, places and stories that matter to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working from photographs or, where appropriate, in person, each commission is created with care and attention to detail, resulting in an original artwork to treasure for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portrait Paintings<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An original oil portrait is a timeless way to celebrate someone special. From individual portraits to family paintings, I work to capture not only a person\u2019s likeness, but something of their character and presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each painting is created with careful attention to expression, detail and atmosphere, resulting in a unique piece of artwork made especially for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portrait Drawings<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hand-drawn portrait offers a beautiful, understated way to preserve a likeness. Working in graphite pencil, I create detailed drawings that capture the character and individuality of the person portrayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re looking for a thoughtful gift, a portrait of a child, or a drawing of someone important to you, each piece is made by hand and with care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet Portraits<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our animals become part of the family, each with their own distinctive character and personality. A commissioned pet portrait is a way to celebrate that special bond and create something lasting to remember them by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working from photographs, I aim to capture the details and expression that make your companion unmistakably themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landscapes<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some places stay with us long after we\u2019ve left them. It might be a favourite view, a much-loved stretch of coastline, a special holiday destination or somewhere that simply feels like home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I create landscape paintings inspired by places and their atmosphere, using colour, light and detail to evoke the feeling of being there. A commissioned landscape can preserve a meaningful memory or bring a favourite place into your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawn to Keep<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Childhood artwork, transformed into something to treasure<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A child\u2019s drawing can hold a whole world of imagination \u2014 and a memory of a time that passes all too quickly. Drawn to Keep celebrates the way children see the world, preserving the individuality, colour and spirit of their original artwork in a unique piece created by me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining a child\u2019s own creation with a carefully drawn portrait, each artwork becomes a personal keepsake: a way to hold on to those little details that make childhood so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because some drawings are simply too precious to put away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commissioning your own artwork<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every commission begins with a conversation. We\u2019ll discuss your ideas, reference photographs, preferred size and medium, and any particular details you\u2019d like to include.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we\u2019ve established the brief, I\u2019ll provide a quote and estimated timescale before work begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
