Portraits & Commissions

2012 — current

As an artist, commissions are an extremely important way of making art a sustainable practice. The greatest artists who ever lives all did commissions constantly whether it be from companies, organisations such as religions etc, or private commissions from individuals.

Commissions also offer something a little different in terms of a gift, and greatly enhance the sentimental value of the gesture, as painting commission of a loved one, a pet, family member of item of interest represents something that can’t often be brought- time.

Please get in touch if you are interested in a commission. All works on this website can be reproduced as a commission piece if desired.

The subject for this painting is my uncle, Hugh Major. He is a huge source of inspiration and a mentor on my artistic journey.
He’s an accomplished author and surrealism-inspired artist, and the desire to include these aspects of him in this painting were quite compelling, but I felt that not showing these interests in his life revealed more of him as a person to the viewer.
The painting represents his interests, life and personality.
