‘My style is realistic with a strong sense of character. From a distance you might think you are looking at a photograph but when you get closer I want you to be able to see the pencil marks and know that it is a drawing.’
What my clients have said?
“Two beautiful portrait drawings of the grand kids. They look fantastic hanging on the wall in the living room.”
— Lynne Connor
“Brought a tear to my eye when I saw your pencil portrait drawing of Trudi.”

“So sweet! I've hung your drawings of the children in pride of place and I love looking at them”

Why not offer the gift of love?
When you are next struggling to think of a special present for a friend or family member, a portrait drawing is the perfect solution. Surprise them with a portrait of their child, grand-children or their pet.
Gifting a portrait is a wonderful opportunity to share and express our love for the people that make our lives so rich.
Art is not a luxury…
In this increasingly stressful world in which we live, we are all too easily affected by mental health issues such as depression or anxiety. There is growing scientific evidence that viewing art can benefit our mental health. (You can check out more information about this here.) When we view art with an emotional resonance to ourselves, these benefits are increased. So why not reap the calming benefits of filling your home with beautiful art featuring those you love?
…it is a necessity!
Any other questions?
Would like information on my prices, the sizes of drawings I offer, and how to go about commissioning a hand drawn portrait?
Say hello?
I love what I do and so I am always happy to chat.
Hopefully you want to commission a portrait, but perhaps you just have a few more questions or maybe you just want to say hello?
Whatever the case there is no hard sell and I shall respond as soon as possible.
If you wish to send me any photos in advance please feel free to do so.

-
Fuller information is available on my Commissions page but briefly, a photo of good quality from a mobile phone with the subject in focus. If you have a hard copy photo that is also acceptable.
-
I send finished drawings once approved via Royal Mail recorded delivery and the cost is £15 for an A4 drawing and £20 for A3
-
Yes I use only the highest quality archive paper and the pencils and coloured pencils I use are of archive quality.
-
I do not currently offer a framing service. The reason for this is that I think drawings are best framed behind glass and sending a glass framed portrait drawing in the post is risky so I currently do not provide frames for my portrait drawings.
However I do offer a FREE FRAME PREVIEW SERVICE.
This will allow you to see your finished hand drawn portrait in a variety of different frames. I can even arrange to let you see how it might look in your own home if you send me a good quality photo of the room where it is going to hang.
This ability to see the drawing framed in a variety of ways will make it easier for you to go to a reputable framer near where you live, with a clearer idea of what you would like.
-
I do not ask for a deposit and I only send the finished drawing once approved so generally there is no need to offer a refund.
In the unlikely event that you were unhappy with the drawing once you received it, I would offer a full refund on return of the drawing.
-
I advertise A4 & A3 to keep things simple as too many sizes on offer can be confusing for clients. I naturally draw on a larger scale so smaller sizes like A5 do not work for me but if you have a large wall at home and want something really dynamic please do get in touch and we can discuss your requirements and price.
