Bespoke Portrait Commissions

Commissioning an original painting is a meaningful way to preserve a special memory, celebrate someone you love, or create a timeless piece of artwork to treasure for years to come.

Whether it’s a beloved pet, family member, or meaningful moment, each portrait is carefully hand painted with close attention to detail and created entirely for you using professional quality materials.

 

Every commission is approached individually to create something personal, beautiful, and truly unique. Read my FAQs below to learn about how the commission process works including pricing, time and options then get in touch to discuss your commission and get started.

How the commission process works

Step 1: Choose your photo

Select one clear, natural reference photo (single image only). If you’re unsure, I can help you choose the best option.

Step 2: Pick your size

Options include small, medium and large onto wood slice, canvas, resin or wood:. See FAQs below for full pricing and multi-subject commissions.

 

Step 3: Get in touch
Contact me via the website to share your idea. You’ll receive a personal consultation to shape the brief.

 

Step 4: Secure your booking
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required. Invoices are sent for payment via the website. Payment plans may be available on request.

 

Step 5: Creation stage
I’ll keep you updated throughout. Minor tweaks can be made at sketch/early stages. Turnaround is usually 6–9 weeks.

 

Step 6: Final approval & balance
Once complete, you approve the artwork and the remaining balance is paid before dispatch.

Step 7: Delivery
Your artwork is carefully packaged and shipped, ready to gift or display.
