If you’re ready to begin, or simply want advice before commissioning your portrait, I’m here to help. Let’s create something special together.
Be confident that your portrait will be delivered safely, no matter where you are in the world. In the unlikely event your portrait is lost or damaged during transit, I will recreate the work at no additional cost to you.
For portraits featuring fewer than four subjects, no upfront deposit is necessary. For larger projects, a deposit ranging from 20-30% may be requested. Additionally, if framing is requested, the cost of the frame is collected upfront. No VAT will be added to the total. I provide clear and upfront pricing to ensure you know exactly what to expect, with no hidden fees.
Rest assured, if your portrait encounters any issues during transit, I will gladly recreate the artwork at no expense to you. Unlimited revisions are guaranteed to ensure your utmost satisfaction. Should adjustments be needed, I’ll continue to refine the work until it aligns perfectly with your vision. Your happiness is my priority, and if you’re not satisfied, you don’t pay.
My portraits and paintings are meticulously hand-drawn using top-tier materials, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship. Unlike digital reproductions, you’ll receive the original artwork—not just a print.
