I'm not currently taking on commissions, but if you want something bold, wild and completely my kind of thing, I'd love to hear about it. For the right project, I'll make it happen.
This is not a traditional portrait service
I only take on a limited number of commissions each year, and each one is created in my style – bold, precise, and full of presence. If you’re looking for a generic family portrait or something to match the curtains, this isn’t for you.
But if you want a painting that makes a statement – something raw, striking, and impossible to ignore – let’s talk.
How it works
-
Pricing starts at £1,500 – This covers a 30cm x 40cm head-and-shoulders portrait. Larger sizes are available, with pricing based on scale and complexity.
​
-
Sizes start at 30cm x 40cm – Most portraits range between 40cm x 50cm to 80cm x 100cm. If you have something bigger in mind, let’s discuss.
​
-
50% deposit secures your portrait – The balance is due before delivery. I also offer interest-free payment plans if needed.
​
-
I paint from photos – You can provide high-res images, or I can take them depending on location.
​
-
Shipping and collection – Shipping costs depend on size, destination, and insurance. Collection from IP23 is available, as well as free delivery within 30km of that postcode.
What to expect
Commissioning a portrait means trusting the artist – and I take that seriously. I don’t paint to order, and I don’t offer changes or previews, because every decision is made with intention. I also don’t work from sketches – each painting develops directly on the canvas.
When you commission me, you’ll receive a finished, fully realised painting – one that reflects my style, my precision, and my vision. If you love my work, you’ll love your portrait.

FAQ
Can I choose the background, colours, or style?
The painting will be created in my signature style, and I make all artistic decisions about composition and background. However, if you have specific colours you’d like me to consider, let me know – I can usually incorporate them in a way that fits the piece.
Can I provide my own photos?
Yes, as long as they are high-resolution and work for my process. Otherwise, I can shoot them depending on location.
Can I see a sketch or progress shots?
No. I don’t work from sketches, and I don’t share progress images – paintings evolve directly on the canvas.
What if I don’t like the painting?
If you’re drawn to my work, you’ll love your portrait. But the painting is the painting – I don’t do revisions.
Do you paint couples or group portraits?
I focus on solo portraits. For larger sizes, I may consider two-person compositions.
Do paintings come framed?
No, all paintings are unframed unless otherwise discussed. Framing increases shipping costs, so I normally recommend arranging framing upon receipt of the painting.
How long does it take?
Typically 4–8 weeks, depending on my schedule. Let me know if you have a deadline.
How does payment work?
A 50% deposit secures your commission. The balance is due before delivery. Payment plans are available, and paintings are delivered once fully paid.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes – shipping costs vary based on size, location, and insurance.
