Background
I am a figurative realist painter and predominantly specialise in custom oil portraiture from photographs. I work in a highly detailed, lifelike manner and aim to create a pure and objective representation.
Based in Malmesbury, I take portraiture commissions from all over the UK. I specialise in children's portraits but also paint adults and pets. I can work in either a traditional, contemporary or fine art style and appreciate that specific environments, or the inclusion of narrative objects are often extremely important; they convey not just a lifelike painting but also the essence of the subject’s personality and identity. I work directly from your photos, eliminating the need for a series of sittings. I always speak to my customers by phone or email to find out exactly how they would like their portrait to appear. I work hard to make sure that my customers are happy with their finished artwork. I always provide an opportunity for them to check and approve a photo of their painting or drawing before it is finished, and don't consider it completed until they are happy! As a result I have many returning customers.
Selecting the right portrait artist for your commission is an important decision; you will be living with your choice for many years to come. A portrait can be either a personal or special gift that lasts forever!
