To celebrate 25 years in the creative industry and 10 years as a live event artist, I am gifting 5 bespoke portraits this autumn.
This is a rare opportunity, as I normally paint exclusively live at events, and don’t accept commissions from photographs.
Each painting will feature up to two people – whether partners, friends, or family – all hand painted by me, in time for Christmas!
Celebrating my milestone with you
Gifting five A5 portraits is my way of saying thank you for the incredible support over the last 25 years, and to mark a decade of live painting with something meaningful and personal.

I am very excited about this special milestone and I can’t wait to surprise 5 lucky winners!
