A moment can be captured in a simple photograph, but a unique, hand-drawn portrait brings a character or memory to life. Whether it be a precious portrait of a treasured pet, or a captivating impression of a family favourite, the authenticity of that single moment in time is encapsulated in a distinctive expression, true to life.

My most popular commissions are, of course, canine portraits – who wouldn’t want their beloved friend’s familiar features and individual character captured for life? My repertoire in pet portraits extends beyond this, however, with elegant felines and striking equine portraits up there with my most favoured commissions.

Most-treasured cars, unique buildings and creative reflections of favourite music-based artwork are among my most niche portfolio collection. Larger-scale commissions include both domestic and business-inspired wall murals, ranging from personalised children’s feature walls, vibrant jungle scenes in soft play centres, to bespoke wall-art in independent high street stores and salons.

Bespoke, wooden, hand-painted children’s bunting, complimenting your colour schemes or celebrating their favourite themes or cartoon characters, make the perfect finishing touch in any child’s bedroom or playroom.

I work with the best quality tools and materials to make your vision a reality, without compromise. Derwent Drawing Pencils, locally sourced in my beautiful Lakeland home region, along with Faber-Castell and Lyra Rembrandt Polycolour Pencils are my most favoured mediums, teamed with high-quality drawing paper or canvas for the optimum finish. I work with DalerRowney and Windsor and Newton acrylic paints to create my larger canvas and wall pieces.
