I am an experienced, full-time, professional artist. I work in a traditional manner, with an emphasis on detail. I work only in oil-paint on canvas, to ensure my work will remain alive and vibrant for many, many years. I am always happy to ship work framed and ready to hang, and I enjoy building a friendly yet professional relationship with any client. I have provided an hourly rate, but if a client has a fixed budget, I am more than willing to work with that and make sure I provide the absolute maximum possible. I take pride in my work, but I am a firm believer in the humility of the artist and will work tirelessly in service of the painting and my client's complete satisfaction. I am happy to work from photographs if and when necessary, so a client's location is never a problem - if a client wishes to discuss this option, I can offer help and advice in this regard to ensure the best possible results. I will also consider non-portrait commissions of any kind - please just ask.
