COMMISSIONS

Your spot, painted for your wall. Or theirs, as the perfect gift.

Some places deserve more than a print. The beach where you got married. The view from the home you just sold after thirty years. The bay your family has swum at for three generations. Tell me the spot and what it means to you, and I'll paint it.

MORE THAN A PAINTING

A painting that holds the whole story.

Everyone has a beach that means something — yours doesn't have to stay a memory.

It becomes the kind of gift people keep for the rest of their lives. The piece that gets pointed out to grandkids. The one visitors always ask about.

I take on only a handful each season, so yours gets the time it deserves.

Simple steps, from first hello to hanging it.

  • 1. Tell me your spot

    Send me the beach and the story behind it. A photo helps, but the meaning matters more.

  • 2. We plan it together

    We settle on size, framing and feel. I'll quote you upfront, so there are no surprises later.

  • 3. I paint it

    I work in oils, slowly and from the heart. I'll share progress so you can watch it come to life.

  • 4. It arrives

    Wrapped with care and posted free across Australia, ready to find its wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you work from my photo?

Absolutely. A clear photo is a great starting point. If you've got a few angles or different light, even better. And tell me what the spot means to you, because that's what ends up in the paint.

What if I've moved away from Sydney?

That's often the whole reason people commission a piece. Plenty of my commissions are spots people have left behind. Wherever you are in Australia, it's posted to you free.

How long does it take?

6 weeks to 2 months once we've locked in the spot and the details. Oils need time to dry properly, and I won't rush a piece. If you've got a deadline, tell me early and we'll plan around it.

Can I give it as a gift?

Yes, and it makes a wonderful one. It arrives packed and ready to wrap, and I'm very good at keeping a surprise under wraps.

What sizes can I choose?

Anything from a smaller piece for a quiet corner up to a proper statement work. We'll settle on the right size together once I know the spot and where it's going to hang.

Does the price include framing?

Yes, absolutely.

Does the price shipping?

No, the price does not include shipping, this can be discussed and isdependant on how large the painting is and where it is getting shipped to.
