Painting is something I come back to when I need a little bit of calm, and it has a way of quieting the noise of everything else around me. The process itself, mixing colours, building layers, watching an image take shape, always captivates me. Oils, with their texture and vibrancy, bring a quiet depth to simple things. Most days, I paint in a corner of my kitchen, where the light shifts through the day and everyday moments find their way into my work. It’s messy sometimes, but it’s always a good kind of mess!

Custom Portrait Process

Painting people is a source of great satisfaction for me as an artist. My goal is not only to capture likeness; but also the individual’s unique story and character. Bringing my subject to life on canvas brings me profound fulfillment.

While I have a preference for painting people in their own environment, I understand that logistical constraints often necessitate working from photographs. Collaborating closely with my clients, we select images that best capture the essence of the subject. Together, we decide on the size and composition of the painting, sometimes integrating elements from multiple photos to craft the final portrait.

Throughout the creative process, I maintain open communication, sharing progress images to ensure that our vision aligns. It’s imperative that my clients are content with the final piece, and that it resonates with them.

Bringing Art and Personality to your Home

A home filled with one-of-a-kind treasures is a home rich with personality and warmth. And carefully selected artwork which reflects your spirit can make you joyful and inspired in your environment. My goal is to create such pieces of art for your home and family.

Feel free to reach out to me directly to explore my portfolio or discuss a custom piece. I would be delighted to create it for you!
