COMMISSIONS Commission a beautifully drawn or painted portrait which captures the character and essence of your loved one. Please let me know your portrait idea and I will guide you through the commission process. Initially we will talk about your idea, the individual's character and which size and media you would prefer. You are welcome to see my portfolio and work at my studio in Bournemouth. I usually start working from a photo. Send me your photos, or I can arrange to take them for you instead. I will create a mock up using the selected photo, and then begin the portrait once this is confirmed. If necessary I can work from sittings later on. I will keep you updated on its progress, and just before completion you will be able to review and suggest changes. Finally you will receive an incredible, heart-warming portrait! MATERIALS I use top quality materials to give the best results. PRICING Prices vary according to size and detail. I can make portraits in all variations from single head and shoulder, half body, full body, group portraits, and work up to any size.

Moving beyond appearances, my work describes the character, essence, and soulfulness of each individual.
