Portraits & Family
Individual portraits, couples and family groups, with the option to reinterpret clothing, setting, composition and atmosphere.
Personal, Original & Hand-Painted
Commissions
From a treasured photograph to a completely reimagined scene, each painting begins with your story. Our specialty is classical oil painting, with watercolour and drawing also available by arrangement.
What We Create
Commissioned for You
Your references might be a single photograph, several pictures taken years apart, or a written description. We can discuss a new composition, period-inspired clothing, changed surroundings and classical lighting to create something personal.
Memorial & Legacy
Considered works honouring loved ones and preserving family memories, created from suitable references and personal stories.
Homes & Landscapes
Meaningful homes, historic buildings, properties and favourite places transformed into lasting paintings.
Historical & Imaginative Scenes
Original compositions inspired by history, literature, significant events and personal imagination in a classical visual language.
A contemporary family portrait, reimagined as a nineteenth-century classical painting — this is the kind of artistic transformation at the heart of our commissions.
How It Works

Discuss & Quote
We assess the composition, complexity, framing and delivery requirements and prepare a tailored quote.

Confirm the artistic direction and scope before work begins. Sketch or composition reviews can be arranged as part of the agreed process.
Painting in Progress
Your original work is painted by hand using traditional techniques. Progress updates can be agreed in advance.
