It is important to me that portraits feel natural and fresh and are not simply copies of a photograph. I like my paintings to be quite loose whilst still sensitive - capturing the essence and likeness of the 'sitter'.

I specialise in portraits of children, though I am of course happy to take on other commissions including adults and pets!

I use your photographs as reference which means that I can work for clients worldwide. Using canvas board makes shipping the paintings both easy and cost effective.

Please take a look at my website for lots more information and examples.

Portraits start from £200 (uk pounds) for 10"x8" painting on canvas board.

Most of my work is at this smallish size, I think it works really well for the kind of informal natural style portraits that I paint.

I usually paint in acrylic onto canvas board. This means I can work to short deadlines as there is no drying time such as there is with oil painting. The canvas board is light and strong meaning it is easy and cost effective to send the paintings anywhere in the world.

I am very happy to consider larger commissions, full figure, oil, adults, groups etc, so please just get in touch if you have something particular in mind.
