What is an original artwork commission?

I am currently open for commissions. If you've been daydreaming of a piece made just for you — a portrait, an animal, an abstract, a feeling — I'd love to bring it to life.

What is a Commission?

A commission is a bespoke, original artwork created entirely for you. Every piece is one-of-a-kind, made by hand, and tailored to your vision. Whether you have a clear idea or just a feeling, we'll work together to create something truly yours.

What I Create

Portraits (people, pets, families)
Botanical & nature studies
Occasion pieces (weddings, anniversaries, new homes)
Custom illustrations for gifts

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work from photos?
Yes — high-quality reference photos are welcome and often essential for portrait work.

Can I request a specific style or medium?
Absolutely. I work in oil pastel sticks, gouache, and pencils. Let me know your preference when you enquire. Let me know as well if you prefer a canvas or paper base.

What if I'm not happy with the result?
Your satisfaction matters deeply. I share progress updates throughout so we can make adjustments before the piece is finalised.

Do you offer prints of commissioned work?
The original is yours exclusively. Prints are NOT made of commissioned pieces without your written consent.
