Bespoke Hand Painted Portraits

A photograph fades. A portrait stays with you forever.

Send me the photo you love and I'll hand paint it, one brushstroke at a time. No prints, no filters, no Photoshop shortcuts or Ai and absolutely no computer trickery. Just one-off piece of artwork made by me for you by one pair of hands.

You approve your sketch before I begin, then I hand-paint it, seal it, treat it and personally frame it before delivering it to your door, ready to hang.

1 portrait commission covers:

Your approval is required before I begin painting your original, hand-painted portrait, so you can feel confident every step of the way. You'll also receive regular work-in-progress (WIP) updates throughout the process. Once complete, your portrait is carefully sealed, personally framed, and shipped to your door with full tracking and insurance, ready to hang, with no hidden costs or unexpected extras.

Why choose a hand-painted portrait instead of a computer-made one?

Having a real hand-painted portrait is what I do, creating them from your most precious moments by myself, from the pre-drawing sketch to the finished frame portrait. Everything I do is original, no Ai, no filters, no cheap Photoshop actions; all my work is a unique, one-of-a-kind portrait, and you'll see the (WiP) work-in-progress on a daily basis at every stage of your personal portrait, with NO hidden costs or unexpected extras.
