“When I heard that Chris was accepting commissions it was an easy decision to make. He helped guide me with various options and suggestions, and talked me through the processes to get to the finished result.
To say that I'm happy with the outcome would be the understatement of the year. He's captured my parents so beautifully, from the twinkle in my Dad's eyes through to my Mum's rosy cheeks.
The reaction from my parents when they opened the portrait is one that will live with me for the rest of my life.”

Services
An original artwork is unique and precious. Art is timeless and there’s no better way to preserve your most personal memories than by immortalising loved ones in a painting or pencil portrait. Whether it’s a pet or human portrait, I would love to create something beautiful for you to keep or gift to someone special. I will turn your favourite photograph into a piece of original art. You can choose an acrylic painting or a pencil sketch.
Pet Portraits
Painted or sketched portraits of your pets lovingly created from your photos.
I love my dog, Izzie (that’s her on my about page refusing to look at the camera) so I know just how much your pet is part of the family. Commissioning a pet portrait is not a decision you should rush which is why I take time with all of my clients to select the perfect picture for your portrait. I’ll guide you through the process and am happy to help you decide on what will be the perfect pet portrait for you.
It can be difficult to decide. Pencil sketch or painting? What size would be best? Get in touch and we can talk through your requirements. Only when you’re fully confident about your choice will I take your commission and pick up my brush or pencil and make a start on creating a timeless and unique portrait for you to treasure forever.
Friends & Family
Immortalise precious memories with a bespoke portrait of your nearest and dearest.
I love painting and sketching people as well as pets. Capturing a true likeness of a person is the ultimate challenge for any portrait artist and it’s what I love. I’ve painted and sketched children, teenagers and adults – every face is an interesting face. There’s nothing quite as special as an original portrait. They truly are timeless. Whether you’re thinking of commissioning a portrait of a loved one still very much with us or sadly passed away, get in touch to discuss your requirements. It would be a privilege to paint or draw your loved one for you.
“Chris has a real talent for capturing the personality of his subjects. We hired him to paint our daughter and we're delighted with the result. I know this painting will be a treasured heirloom for years to come.”
