Private Commissions 

Each commissioned work is approached with the same depth of care, intention, and artistic integrity that defines my personal practice.

I accept a limited number of private commissions each year. In order to preserve the quality and spirit of the work, commissions are highly selective and considered based on availability and the strength of the reference material provided.

All artworks are created in the chosen medium—such as charcoal and soft pastels or oil paint—and are grounded in refined realism with a timeless sensibility. Every piece begins with carefully selected reference imagery and unfolds through a thoughtful, collaborative process, allowing the work to evolve with clarity and purpose.

To commission an original artwork, please review the process below and submit a private commission inquiry.

Commissions begin from the following studio benchmarks:

Oil — £750
Charcoal & Pastel — £550

Reference size: 20 × 16 inches (approximately 50 × 40 cm).

Final valuation is informed by considerations such as scale, subject matter, compositional complexity, and artistic scope.

To confirm a commission, a retainer of 50% is required. This retainer is non‑refundable and secures the work within the artist’s schedule.
