Commission a Bespoke Portrait
Transform a cherished photograph into a unique piece of original artwork.
Whether you're celebrating a beloved pet, commemorating a special place, capturing the beauty of wildlife, or creating a meaningful gift for someone special, I create bespoke portraits that are designed to be treasured for years to come.
Each commission is individually created from your photographs and tailored to your vision, resulting in an artwork that is both personal and timeless.
What Can Be Commissioned?
Pet Portraits
Pets are family, and a custom portrait is a wonderful way to celebrate the companionship, personality, and memories they bring into our lives. I work from your photographs to create artwork that captures their unique character and spirit.
Memorial Pet Portraits
A memorial portrait offers a lasting tribute to a beloved pet who has passed away. These commissions are created with sensitivity and care, helping to preserve treasured memories in a meaningful and beautiful way.
House and Architectural Portraits
From family homes and country cottages to historic buildings and favourite holiday retreats, architectural portraits make thoughtful gifts and lasting keepsakes.
Each commission captures the character and details that make a place special.
Wildlife Commissions
Inspired by a lifelong love of nature, I create wildlife portraits featuring birds, mammals, and other animals. Whether based on your own photographs or a favourite wildlife encounter, these commissions celebrate the beauty of the natural world.
Portraits from Photographs
I can also create portraits of people, families, and special moments from carefully selected reference photographs.
