Commissions

A commissioned painting is an opportunity to preserve something that matters. Whether it’s a much-loved landscape, a place woven into your family’s story, or a feeling you want to live with every day, each artwork is created as an original oil painting that captures more than what is seen, it captures what is felt. Working in my signature textured style, I create paintings that invite people to pause, remember and connect, becoming timeless pieces that grow more meaningful with every passing year.

For art collectors, a commission offers the chance to own a deeply personal work created exclusively for you. For interior designers, it provides the opportunity to bring together colour, scale and atmosphere with a bespoke artwork designed to complement the space while remaining unmistakably original. From our first conversation through to the final brushstroke, I work closely with you to create a painting that feels considered, authentic and beautifully at home, an artwork made not only to complete a room, but to become part of the stories lived within it.

If you’ve been thinking about commissioning a painting, I’d love to hear your ideas. Send me a message and let’s have a chat, I can’t wait to see what we can create together.
