Portrait Commissions

I love drawing portraits above all else. I specialise in portraits of pets and people that capture how the person (or pet) is as well as what they look like. A great portrait is about emotion and that comes from good communication.

I regularly have work exhibited at Victoria Art Gallery in Bath, at Mall Galleries in London, as well as Wells Cathedral and across the southwest. I’m a member of the Association of Animal Artists and an associate member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art.

Ideally I’ll meet you to discuss what you’d like from the portrait and to get to know you. I’ll also take photographs and together we’ll decide on what to use for the portrait. If this isn’t possible then we can have a phone conversation and I can work from a selection of high quality photographs provided by you.

(For pet portraits, I will usually work from a set of high quality photos that you have sent me, with no need for a meeting or phone call.)

Prices start at £200 for a pet portraits and £275 for a portrait of a person. The price is for an unframed picture and includes delivery in the UK. (Overseas delivery will be at cost.) I require a deposit of £75 and will usually need four weeks to complete the work. The balance is payable on completion, prior to delivery (in person or by post).
