Commissions

 

I welcome enquiries for commissioned paintings from 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 an online consultation or an in-person meeting to discuss your ideas, answer any questions, and better understand your vision for the artwork.

When making an enquiry, please include the following information where possible:

• A brief description of your commission or project

• Preferred dimensions (if known)

• Intended location for the artwork (home, office, gallery, public space, etc.)

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

• Preferred colour palette or atmosphere (optional)

• Reference images or inspiration (optional)

• Desired timeframe or deadline

• Approximate budget (optional)

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

Please note:

• Every commission is unique and individually priced according to the scale, complexity, and materials required.

• A non-refundable deposit may be required before work begins.

• Completion times vary depending on the size and complexity of the artwork.

• Framing, shipping, and installation are not included unless otherwise agreed.

All commission enquiries should be made via email.​ I aim to respond to all commission enquiries within 72 hours.
