The work
Original paintings on stretched canvas — characters, studies, commemorative pieces — alongside hand-finished graphite drawings on paper. Painted and drawn entirely by hand. People tend to commission these for weddings, anniversaries, and as gifts that need to last.
How a piece gets made
From the first email to the finished piece.

A short conversation by email or DM. Reference images welcome, especially if it's a portrait or a specific subject.
- Step 02
Sketch
One round of pencil composition with revisions before I commit to paint.
- Step 03
Paint
Built up in acrylic on stretched canvas, or finished in graphite for drawn pieces. I sign and date the back.

Deliver
Optional framing for works on paper. Local hand-delivery or insured shipping for canvases.

Things people ask
Before you write.
Can this be a gift?+
Yes — and probably more people commission them as gifts than for themselves. I can ship straight to the recipient with a card.
Do I own the rights to the painting?+
You own the original and the right to display it. I keep reproduction rights — meaning if I ever want to use the image in my portfolio or print run, I can.
