Commission a Timeless Portrait of your Loved One
I take great pride in portraying the character of those I paint authentically, capturing their true likeness and character, ensuring that the finished piece is not just a painting, but a reflection of their unique story.
For a moment, he thought it was real
He said, “It's actually a painting! Oh my God, for a moment, I thought it was so real.” That's exactly what I was trying to go for.

These precisely crafted oil paintings are created with time-tested archival materials so they can be loved and stay in your family forever.
With an oil portrait, you can preserve the rich stories and culture of your loved ones for future generations.
You need to see it in person
It's great because it’s in our family room. You see it every day. And you need to see it in person-sometimes you stop and notice a little bit more. But it's always there.
What's even better is when other people come home, those who have known my grandpa. They remember that version of him.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Stage 1 - Enquire
Fill in the form below with a little detail about your commission. I'll respond with a private Google Drive link for you to upload your reference photos. You can provide me with a memorable image you already have on hand, or if you are in Melbourne I am happy to arrange a photography session to capture accurate and flattering references for the painting.
Stage 2 - Quote and Concept DesignWe begin with reviewing your photos and a personalised consultation to discuss your ideas and specific requirements, including details and background about the person to be featured in the painting and where you envision displaying it. A deposit confirms your spot.
Stage 3 - Creating the Portrait Painting
The fun begins and I keep in touch with my collectors throughout the painting process, and will share images of the artwork as it develops. As the painting is near completion, we will consult on the final details and any necessary adjustments.

Each commission is priced individually based on the size, complexity, number of subjects and background detail. Once I've had a chance to review your reference photos and discuss what you have in mind, I'll put together a personalised quote.
If you have a budget in mind, feel free to share it in your enquiry, I'll let you know what I can create within that range. If you'd like to share a budget, mention it in your enquiry form and I'll tell you honestly what I can create within that range and we can go from there. -
Most commissions take 4–6 weeks from your deposit, covering the painting itself, drying time, which oil paint requires, and a final varnish before delivery. I work to a planned schedule, so if you have a deadline such as a birthday, Mother's Day, or an anniversary, it's worth reaching out early. Your spot is secured once we've agreed on the details and a deposit is received.
-
I offer shipping options for both interstate and international deliveries, ensuring that your painting reaches you wherever you are in the world. Please allow extra time for shipping.
