Turn a photo you love into an original painting
Wedding moments, family portraits and people you love, hand-painted from your photographs in my Melbourne studio.
Portrait commissions from $750
I accept a limited number of commissions throughout the year.
My commissioned work includes expressive landscapes and portraits, created with an intuitive, painterly approach rather than exact illustration.
Commissions are best suited to those who feel drawn to my existing work and are open to allowing a painting to develop naturally.
You can also see my available studio work here.
FROM PHOTO TO PAINTING
A photograph captures the moment. A painting gives it another life.
MORE THAN A COPY OF A PHOTOGRAPH
A photograph already holds the memory. A painting turns it into something made to live with.
I keep the likeness and the details that matter, while translating your photograph into my painterly style.
• Weddings
• Couples & families
• Parents & grandparents
• Memorial portraits
• Pets
I can work from more than one photograph.
Maybe you love someone's expression in one photo but prefer another setting.
Maybe you'd like several family members brought together.
Or perhaps you want to create a portrait with someone who wasn't able to be there.
Send me what you have. I'll tell you what's possible.
Payment & Timing
50% deposit to begin • balance on completion
Timeframes vary depending on size and current workload; I will always confirm an estimated completion window before beginning
Payment plans can be discussed for larger works.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the beautiful painting.
Everyone said how amazed they were with your incredible work and you really made our day.
Savanah, bride.

Is a Commission Right for You?
A commission with me may be a good fit if:
-
You’re drawn to expressive, painterly work
-
You value atmosphere and emotion over exact replication
-
You’re open to allowing the painting to unfold intuitively
If you’re looking for highly detailed realism or precise photographic likeness, my work may not be the best fit.
I’m grateful for the trust involved in commissioned work and approach each piece with care and attention.
