My portraits are acts of listening and deep attention. Each commission begins with a conversation — about the person to be painted, the story behind the portrait, and the details of a life that no camera quite catches. From that conversation grows a painting that carries its own history, the likeness and embellishments emerging together through layers of attention. Symbols and patterns are drawn from careful listening to a sitter's own story — their heritage, the places and moments that have shaped them, it's my way of conveying a rich life.
I welcome commissions that ask for more than a likeness — where the portrait is a way to truly honour a life, commemorate a moment, or preserve someone's memory for the generations that follow. If that sounds like the portrait you have been imagining, I would love to hear from you. The first step is a relaxed discovery call — a chance for us to get to know each other and explore whether my work feels right for you.
