People portrait commissions

There’s something deeply meaningful about turning a favourite photo or memory into a timeless portrait. These pieces often become treasured heirlooms, passed down through generations, carrying with them stories, love, and a sense of connection that lasts a lifetime—and beyond.

Having completed over 350 pet and people portraits for people all over the world, you can trust me with your special moments. Ordering a commission is as easy as these three steps….

1

Email me the best photos of the subject that you’d like me to draw. The more photos you have the better so that I can get a good idea of the person I am drawing.

We’ll discuss the size you’d like and if you’d like me to add/remove anything from the photo. I can merge photos together and change backgrounds as needed.

Prices start from $550 for an A4 sized portrait. I ask for a 50% deposit to secure your booking which also breaks up the cost into two payments.

A few days before your piece is due on my schedule, I will get in touch to confirm the composition and details before I start drawing.

Once all is agreed, sit back and let me work my magic!

My turnaround is usually 6-8 weeks depending on my waitlist. NB: The few months leading up to Christmas are usually my busier times so get in early if you are planning a special gift!

Lastly, I will email you a photo of the finished piece and can help you organise framing, then I carefully pack your precious artwork up and you will receive it within the week.

Then there is nothing left but to enjoy your precious memories!
