Your portrait. Your story.
Commission a portrait of yourself or a loved one, and enjoy a piece of art unique to your story. Each portrait captures the sitter with evocative brushstrokes, creating modern, impressionistic paintings that weave vibrant tales through colour, pattern, and texture.
Inspired by impressionist sketches and salon portraits, my work is a loose, character-filled study of person and place. It is a still-life and a portrait at once – a story told through objects, colour, and setting. The result is a visual narrative full of hints at your history, passions, place and character.
From life or from photographs.
Each portrait is painted from reference, either gathered from an in-person sitting, or from photos provided by the client.
My work is imaginative, intuitive, and slightly abstracted. I use the photographs as a starting point, and work beyond them.
If working from photographs, you will need to choose 3-4 photos that show you seated, from the torso up. Ideally, the photos should be well-lit and taken in the setting (room of your house, or garden) that speaks most of your character. Perhaps it’s the library, or the balcony garden, or the beautifully appointed living room you have recently finished decorating. Please also provide some photos of the setting alone. (You can also provide photos of the sitter seperate from setting, if necessary).
The process of painting a portrait is different each time. Please allow 2-3 months for the finished commission.
Please contact me for a price, as quotes will depend on many things. An approximate price range for portrait commissions is $300 - $850 AUD.
