Personalised creations made to order. Any requests welcome. Struggling for gift ideas? Send me a message for an idea of what I can offer or have a look at my photos for inspiration. Bespoke, Personal, Timeless, Fun and Affordable.

Mainly specialising in animal portraiture but other commissions accepted.
I am open to any proposals and suggestions and will work to the best of my ability to acheive the most desired results. I take pride in my work and will never distribute work that is not finished to my own high standard. I ensure that any work that i exchange is of a standard that i would like to receive myself.

Commissions:
If you are looking to commission a painting please e-mail a photo to me, including any information of the result you require, or contact me via facebook and i can arrange the next steps from there.

In the e-mail please include what size you desire the painting to be and whether you would like it to be upon canvas or paper.

Once i have recieved the photo and decription of the painting, i will reply with an estimate of price and timescale as soon as possible, and also any additional queries of your requirements.

Prices
(estimates only, prices may increase due to detail of painting or any special requirements) These are just 3 basic sizes of painting, any size is acceptable.

Canvas Paper
A4 £40 £30
A3 £70 £60
A2 £90 £80

Materials and technique
I use a mixture of paints, usually Acrylic and Gouache. I don't see a problem with using two types of paints together as i feel that i have more versatility.
I don't see my work as an exact copy of a photograph, i like a painting to look like a painting, but i do like it to as much like the subject as possible, i usually acheive this by focusing on the main characteristic unique to the subject and ensuring that it is very prominent, in one way or another.
