Art & Illustration

Painting is my passion.

From an early age I taught myself to paint and continued this training through college and beyond. I love spending my time experimenting with and perfecting new techniques. My art is always evolving but throughout I like to capture the beauty of the natural world.

Animal portraiture is one of my favourite subjects and I have various portrait reminders of my beloved pets of the past adorning many walls of my house. I am often commissioned to capture pets, favourite places and people so please do get in touch if you’d like to discuss your ideas. As a Farnham artist, I was delighted to open my own studio in Surrey in 2021.

More recently I have been exploring portraiture and creating work of loved ones for many clients.

Below is a small selection of my oil, water colour and mixed media work.

Commissioning Process

Commissioning a painting shouldn’t be a scary proposition. It should be a joyful and meaniful experience. This is how I approach all my commissions, with a passion to learn about you, your loved one and make the journey to the finished painting a truly special experience.

At the beginning we will just have a friendly phone or video chat about what you hope for from your painting and I’ll ask you to send several images so that I can start to think about the best way to represent the subject.

Once we have mutually agreed to move forward, I will begin painting and will keep you updated throughout the process. The painting can take around a week depending on the medium you choose and my current availability.

If the painting is for a special occasion we can discuss timescales to make sure it is ready in time.

Paintings start from £250 and in our initial chat we can discuss all the options before moving forward.
