Commission 

I welcome enquiries for physical commissioned paintings from first-time buyers, private collectors, galleries, institutions, businesses, and organisations.

Each commission is developed in close dialogue with the client while remaining true to my artistic practice and visual language. Rather than reproducing existing works, I create original paintings inspired by your ideas, memories, locations, or themes, interpreted through my contemporary painting practice.

Before beginning a commission, I am happy to arrange a complimentary 1-hour online consultation to discuss your ideas, answer any questions, and better understand what you are looking for.

Commission enquiries may relate to either:

  • A new bespoke painting, created specifically in response to your chosen ideas, themes, memories, or location

  • The purchase of an existing artwork that is currently available from my studio

A current price list and available works can be provided upon request.

For commission and artwork enquiries, please contact me via email.

  • Preferred paints (oil, acrylic, watercolour, or if you would like guidance)

  • Preferred medium (canvas, paper, or if you would like guidance)

  • Reference images or inspiration (optional)

  • Desired timeframe or deadline

  • Approximate budget​

  • Each commission is developed in close dialogue with the client during the free online consultation while remaining true to my artistic practice and visual language

Free Online Consultation 

  • Following your initial enquiry, I will arrange a complimentary one-hour Zoom consultation to discuss your ideas, requirements, budget, timeline, and the proposed direction of the commission.

  • If we both feel the project is a good fit, the commission will then be formally accepted and confirmed.

  • An official written commission agreement via pdf will then be provided, outlining the detailed agreed scope of work, price, payment terms, estimated completion date, delivery arrangements, and any other relevant conditions before the commission begins.

Commission Process, Payment & Delivery

  • Each commission is individually priced according to the scale, complexity, materials, and overall requirements of the artwork.

  • A non-refundable deposit may be required before work begins. The commission will commence once the deposit has been received.

  • Buyers are welcome to request progress updates via email throughout the commission process. Where appropriate, I can provide brief written updates or images showing the development of the work.

  • Completion times vary depending on the size, complexity, and materials required for the artwork. An estimated completion date will be agreed in advance.

  • Once the artwork is completed, the remaining balance must be paid in full by bank transfer before delivery or shipping is arranged.

  • Delivery will normally be arranged within two weeks of receiving full payment, unless otherwise agreed.

  • Framing, import duties or taxes, shipping, and installation costs are the responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise agreed. Shipping arrangements and costs can be discussed during the purchasing process.
