Custom portraits for all occassions
 Commissioned portraits for adults,babies,children,teenagers and pets are available in oils or pastels or charcoal. Paintings of single corporate portraits and institutions are also available as are family groups and group corporate portraits. Portraits are usually portrayed in a realistic representational style but can be tailored to meet the requirements of the client. Whether your desired portrait is for a wedding, memorial, anniverary, birthday, graduation, gift, or just for interior decorating it will be able to be kept as a professional quality heirloom.
Children's Portraits
 Memorable Portraits mark the milestones in a child's development from babies and children through to teenagers and adults. Birthday parties,weddings,first day at school,graduations,their first pet,sports or academic achievements can be made a momentos occassion with a heirloom portrait that can be kept for posterity. Often times photos fail to capture all that needs to be said about the child as in their hobbies,interests and endearing habits. Where a photo of a family often fails to capture all the children in the best expressions a group portrait easily expresses the loving unity of a family.
Custom Portraits
 Personal wedding portraits hold great meaning and are very memorable and sentimental. Although many of my portraits are held in private collections many more have recieved awards for their appeal. Selecting the right setting for the portrait in the best light and capturing the greatest expression that typifies the subject is often impossible to do in photos. Often the portrait subject/subjects must sit for the artist to let the artist understand their nature and do many colour studies and sketches for the painting to be at its best. Photos can then be used as a back stop for the collection of ideas and positions. All paintings are done in the highest professional quality materials and whether choosing oils,pastels or charcoal for the commission no painting will be sold unless the client is fully satisfied with the workmanship. So whether you are commissioning a portrait for a wedding,anniversary, gift, corporate portrait, birthday, memorial, family group, pet portrait or simply using it as an interior decorating idea to decorate your home you will have a portait to keep worthy of any gallery.
