Turning moments into magic with bespoke commissions
When you commission a piece, it isn’t just artwork - it’s a memory made tangible, ready to be cherished for a lifetime.
Imagine the moment they unwrap the portrait that’s been hand painted just for them.
“It's going to be a treasured piece for years to come.”

Fill out this short form and tell me what you’d love to see - a favourite place, a meaningful moment, or just a gift for someone special.

Concept & sketches
I’ll provide an estimate for your vision and check my diary. Then, once the deposit is paid I’ll create initial sketches and ideas for you to review.
This is your chance to guide the artwork - making sure the style, colours, and details feel just right - before I bring it to life.
Final piece delivered
Your commission is carefully hand-painted, finished, and packaged with care - ready to gift or treasure for years to come.
Framing services are available too.

Yes! I can arrange professional framing so your artwork arrives ready to gift or to display. It’s the finishing touch that transforms your commission into a true heirloom piece.
I work with a trusted local framer here in The Cotswolds to ensure the highest quality finish. Frames can be made bespoke to you, whether that is colour-matched tones to complement your home, or charming details like scalloped edges, floral motifs, or patterned borders.
