Commissioning an Artwork
When commissioning an Artwork it is important to think about what it is you want and what scale you would like it to be. I have compiled a short list of things to consider and take you through the process of commissioning an Artwork.
Commissioning an Artwork is expensive.
I work from photographs. I will ask you to send over a handful of images of the subject you would like painted or drawn.
I will select with your consultation the image I feel will best suit being translated into an Artwork and we will decide on the surface you would like the work on (stretched canvas/linen/wood/paper etc.)
I will quote for the work.
Through the process I will keep you updated as much as you care to be updated and give you my best feeling for how long the work will take to complete.
Once complete I will arrange with you the delivery of your work. I take a lot of pride in hand delivering when and where I can.
Mounting & Framing
If desired I have great contacts with framers in the Oxfordshire area and London. I use these places to have my own work framed too.

On commissioning an Artwork I will be happy to discuss your ideas for framing and refer you to the right people to suit both your vision and budget however small or grand. I’m passionate about the way things look and believe that choosing the right frame is often as important as the Artwork itself and key to showing it off whilst complementing its surroundings in the home or gallery.
I commissioned this hand welded raw steel frame in London for one of my favourite pencil drawings 'Return to an Innocence Lost'
One of my favourite drawings 'Return to an Innocence Lost' framed in hand welded steel and float mounted under a museum quality non-reflective glass. To get the best results it's always key to communicate clearly with the framers about your vision whilst trusting their expert eye to create a frame that complements your commissioned work.
