I have been painting and drawing since I was young, and I've always created pictures with people for as long as I can remember.

People fascinate me, and a painting or drawing without a person in it somehow feels incomplete and not so interesting to me. Over time, my figure paintings developed into portraits. In my early thirties, I first started painting family and friends, and more recently have specialised in children’s portraits. Now I am getting requests for memorial portraits as well.

Portraiture is my forte and passion and involves much more than just capturing a likeness. I try to capture the spirit of a person as well. My work has a high emotional value, and it’s very fulfilling to know my portraits will be treasured and part of a family for years to come. Each commission is one of a kind, and I enjoy the unique challenges each offers. I love the process of first communicating with clients and working with them to create a memorable portrait.

It’s easy to commission a portrait.

  • Simply email or post your favourite photos, and I will let you know if they are suitable. Both black and white and coloured photos are okay
  • I can combine different photos to create a unique double or group portrait
  • I can also create fantasy or theme-based backgrounds
  • Portraits usually take 3 to 4 weeks to complete, but if you have a deadline, I can aim to meet this
  • My standard size is 61cm x 51cm on a good, stretched canvas
  • All enquiries are welcome
