It is my pleasure to bring to life the artistic visions and capture the beloved memories of others, manifesting them in the form of visual art to be displayed and cherished. Whether it's a small drawing to sit on a bedside table or a series of expansive paintings to fill a space, I am always open to new artistic ventures and happy to help each and every person fill their life with their own aesthetic choices.
​
As the Gallery shows, I have a distinct style of drawing and painting which draws from the Neoclassical and Symbolist oil painters, and the contemporary masters of the Visionary movement.
Symbolism and allegory are incredibly dear to me, and many artworks can hold within them deep meaning which is highly personal and esoteric, and to draw forth this power locked within imagery is a journey we can share and which I have the utmost respect for.
If any individual piece on this website exhibits a style that speaks to you, I shall endeavor to replicate that in the production of a unique work tailored to your desires. If the original piece is unavailable or not suitable to your specific needs, note that I do not wish to make exact copies of any past work, as I feel it is of great value to every art owner to own a truly unique work, and it is of the utmost importance to me to constantly strive to better develop my craft with every work produced.
Many aspects of an artwork can be tailored specifically to suit the individual, unique desires of a client. As such, it is essential that any queries, questions, stipulations or ideas are presented as clearly as possible to me to allow us to overcome my communication difficulties and collaboratively produce the best possible work flow and final product.

To produce a custom work, I will generally require 2-3 images from which to work - these can of course be photographs of the subject, screenshots from a game or other inspiring images to incorporate - along with guidance as to what composition, colour palette and medium it is that I am to use. All these details can be discussed and agreed upon before any deposit is required.
​
Once an agreement has been reached as to exactly what artwork(s) you desire, I will ask of you an initial deposit of 50% of the agreed upon price, to ensure that I can acquire the materials needed and allow me to begin work at once. The rest of the payment will be due only after you have seen photographs of the completed work and approved of a suitable varnishing/framing/shipping process.
​
The majority of the commissioned portraits are 12x16" in size, as over years of production I have determined that this size is agreeable to many clients, and high quality painting surfaces are widely available in these sizes, saving time and expense for both myself and my clients. A painting of around this size will take between 10 and 15 hours to produce on average, so the completed work can be ready to ship (if left unvarnished) in as little as one month allowing for the paint to dry but not fully cure. I am of course open to creating works on any scale, and am open to discuss what size and medium would best suit your wallspace.
Curing times of oil paint can vary wildly, though in general a painting will be safe to varnish - a process which vastly increases the painting's longevity by protecting the paint surface from UV, grime and wear, and allowing future restoration - after 4-6 months.
With the help of a very talented local framer, all works can be delivered ready to hang, and framing styles can be requested upon order, or otherwise chosen by the framer and myself to best compliment the work.
