Commissioned Oil Portrait Paintings

About Me

In my oil paintings, I strive to capture expressions and moods in candid moments; sometimes revealed in a fleeting expression or by including meaningful items to tell a story about convey a sense of the person being paint

As a child, I was constantly drawing pictures of faces. The complexity of facial expressions and body language continues to fascinate and deeply engage me, glimpses of which I try to express in the images I create.

Graduating from art college, I worked as a computer games artist, using Photoshop and visual software to texture characters and landscapes. I have been involved in visual expression for most of my life and, in my portraits, I am concentrating on my true passion which has accompanied me since childhood.

Arranging a Commission

Contact me to discuss your portrait details, the size of canvas and pricing. We can meet in person where I can do some preliminary sketches and take photographs. We can also connect online and you are very welcome to send me your photographs as reference.

It is usual** for 50% to be paid before starting, with the remainder due on completion of the portrait. A digital copy of the finished image will be sent for final approval before the final payment and delivery.

Installments also accepted, with the final work being delivered on the last payment.
