Commissions
Welcome to a selection of some of the commissions created for and with my collectors. I adore the exploration stage as it’s always heart-warming and insightful to hear peoples’ stories and how we’ll translate those to the canvas. The next stage is sourcing or creating the collage whether that’s my own drawings, handwritten notes, historic photos, or family photos (the possibilities are endless!) to create a truly personalised artwork. Lastly, washes of paint are applied and the layers of sentiment and meaning are brought together.
If this sounds like something you’d like for your home or to gift to a loved one, reach out. As a starting point, I can send you a guide to my process and cost guidelines.

This mixed media artwork was a 40th Birthday gift where each paint tube represented a member of their family. This artwork is packed with special fond memories.
Familia

Created for an Expat family where the Mum is Brazilian, the Dad is British and the two boys were born in Australia. Familia looks absolutely stunning in their dinning room space and is a much loved talking point!
A Proper Brew

A gift for her British husband, this artwork contain some of his favourite things!
Proud Yorkshireman
Mixed media on canvas
40cm x 40cm
As the name suggests, this artwork was commissioned for a Yorkshireman living in Australia. I love a pork pie so I was more than happy to purchase one (and then devour it) to create this still life. Ok, I may also have drunk the beer too!
