Portraits
Each began as a person in a room and is now a presence. Several have gone to their homes. Stay with one.
“When I first saw the completed portrait, I was overwhelmed with emotion.”
A painted portrait goes beyond showing a face: it tells a story. Each brushstroke carries the sitter’s spirit and energy, making a painting that is treasured for generations.
Some of the portraits below have found their homes. Each can be the starting point for a commission made for you.
Portraits
Natural light, full colour, the old way of looking. Someone who was in the room is kept in it, and is still there when you look up.
Monochromes
Heads and figures surfacing from the dark in one colour of light. Not painted so much as called, and still arriving.
A portrait that transcends time
Commissioning a portrait turns a moment into a lasting legacy. My approach combines classical technique with a contemporary eye, and whether the painting is for a family or an institution, I work closely with you to capture both likeness and character.
How a commission works
It begins with a conversation about who the portrait is for and where it will hang. I guide you through size, composition and palette, paint with your input at key milestones, and deliver the finished work packed, insured and ready to hang.
