Commission Some Art
To commission a piece of art for your home or workspace, feel free to call me and we can discuss the creative process. I enjoy working with your story and my style to create something totally unique. We can work to your wall size and budget to create something special.
The size of these drawings requires experience when it comes to professional archive framing. I work closely with Chris Williams Bespoke Framing Ltd to ensure we get the best quality. I also offer the dedicated delivery and installation at your home.
Here are some recent local commissions inspired by The Solent in Portsmouth:
The Bishop - 2022
Bountiful - 2020

Size: 2.1m x 1.6m & 0.7m x 1.6m
A personal story is told with this dramatic composition in two parts, one above the sea and on below. All the family members are all included, and The Solent landscape and wildlife are chosen as part their narrative and the personalities involved.
It was designed in two sections so we could get it to the third floor of their staircase and make full use of the 3.5m high feature wall.
Soul of Solent ( SoS) - 2021
Size: 2.4m x 0.8m
This panoramic view of the Solent waters with the Isle of Wight on the horizon and dramatic seascape tells a personal family story and celebrates their love of fishing, boats, and wildlife. A piece commissioned for the living room space just above the main sofa wall.

This beautiful home in Old Portsmouth is also a private gallery to a selection of my work. The owners beautiful renovation of this old boat house is the perfect setting for the strong monochrome punctuation of small spaces and the use of large feature walls. It has featured in several Interior Design magazines and newspapers. The large Seagull & Sailor drawing (No.4/7) on the wall, is for sale in the 'Large Drawing' section of this website. The other limited edition giclee prints are also available in various sizes.
Living with your Art Collection
The rich monochrome quality of my large drawings work great for modern interiors with a quirky darker taste. These art works are all in the same private collection in a large rural house in Hampshire UK.
The owners eclectic lush modern style and generous wall space give these large drawings a home of their own and set the mood for the interesting characters who live there.
