UNIQUE ARTWORK FOR UNIQUE PEOPLE.

It's been a real privilege to create one-of-a-kind artworks for other people; to have been told their special stories and work together to illustrate them. From anecdotes and in-jokes, to lovers’ whispers and treasured homes, each piece lives as testament to a unique life.

I would love to work with you too. Let’s draw from a story only you can tell.

HOW IT WORKS...

  • TO START...

    • We'll have a chat via email or telephone to discuss your idea and what you envision.
    • Depending on what you're looking for, I will ask you to reflect on what details or elements you want to highlight. We are going to tell a story, not 'just' paint a picture.
    • Don't be shy! Our little quirks and oddities often make for the best inspiration.

  • NEXT...

    • Once we have our concept, you pay a non-refundable 50% deposit.
    • I will then begin your commission in pencil and send you photos to check you're happy with the piece before the ink is added.
    • The process can take anything from two to eight weeks. I will give you a more specific timeframe on application, but please factor this in to any important dates (such as birthdays or anniversaries) that you are hoping to purchase for.

  • TO FINISH...

    • Once completed and your final payment has been made, I will post your commission to you.
    • All artwork is sent unframed and placed in protective reinforced packaging. If you'd like it framed and ready to hang, I'm very happy to arrange this into your quote.
    • Finally, I'm utterly chuffed when someone sends me a photo of their commission in its forever home - I'll be delighted to hear from you too if you so wish.
Questions? Ask away!
