Commission an Original Artwork
If you're interested in commissioning an original drawing or painting, I'd be delighted to hear your ideas. Whether you're looking for a portrait, a large statement piece, or a unique artwork inspired by a particular subject, every commission is created as an original in my distinctive style.
Born in the UK, I grew up on the south coast, studying art in Hastings and Brighton during the vibrant 1990s before developing a career that has taken my work from gallery walls to private collections around the world. Now based in Berlin, I continue to create paintings and drawings for collectors, businesses and individuals who are looking for something truly personal.
Each commission begins with a conversation. We'll discuss your ideas, preferred size, colour palette, subject matter and budget, and I'll guide you through the entire process—from the initial concept to the finished artwork.
If you'd like to learn more about commissioning a piece or simply explore what's possible, please get in touch. I'd be happy to answer any questions and explain how the process works, with no obligation.
Portraits
I also specialise in ink mono print portraits. Rather than aiming for a photographic copy, my portraits capture character, energy and expression through confident line work and layers of ink, creating a distinctive artwork that is both personal and timeless. They make memorable gifts for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and other special occasions.
From the first conversation through to the finished artwork, I'll guide you through the entire process, making it simple and enjoyable. If you'd like to discuss an idea or learn more about commissioning an original piece, please get in touch—I would love to hear from you.
