Commissions

I welcome enquiries for commissioned artwork, working closely with clients to create original pieces that respond to their space, vision, and personal connection to art. Whether for a private home, workplace, or public setting, each commission is developed through a collaborative process, resulting in a unique artwork that is both meaningful and site-responsive. Below, you can explore a selection of examples from previous commissions, offering an insight into the experience of working together and the finished works.

This commission involved the creation of two original large-scale encaustic paintings for a dental clinic on Harley Street, developed through a close and collaborative dialogue with the clients. Together, we explored how contemporary art could contribute to a calm, welcoming environment, balancing the clinical nature of the space with warmth, texture, and a sense of quiet reflection.

The project evolved through conversations, colour studies, and material samples, allowing the paintings to respond to both the architecture and the clients' vision. The completed commission demonstrates how a collaborative, site-responsive approach can result in artworks that not only complement an interior but also shape the atmosphere and experience of those who inhabit it.

Harley Street Commission

This private commission for a Manhattan apartment involved creating two large-scale encaustic artworks designed to capture the energy and atmosphere of New York City. The client wanted the pieces to bring the city skyline into the living space while reflecting the changing moods of light throughout the day. The two works were developed as a visual journey from sunrise to sunset, with layered wax, pigment, and texture revealing the shifting tones, reflections, and luminosity of the Manhattan skyline.

Working closely with the client throughout the process, the commission became a collaborative exploration of personal connection, place, and memory. Conversations about the apartment’s architecture, natural light, and the client’s relationship with the city helped shape the composition and palette of each piece. The finished artworks create a dialogue between the interior space and the world outside, transforming the changing light of New York into a timeless, tactile experience.

Manhattan Apartment Commission

The brief for this private commission was born from the client’s desire to translate an intense, instinctual emotion into a physical form. He wanted a piece that would act as a permanent testament to his love for his young son - capturing both the fierce protective energy of a parent and the tender vulnerability of a child.

Working closely together throughout the process, the commission became a collaborative exploration of personal connection and memory. Our conversations about the specific feelings he wanted to evoke heavily shaped the final composition and palette. We selected the glowing, molten golds to represent the warmth and purity of early childhood, while the deep, ember-reds inject a pulse of fierce, protective vitality. By grounding these luminous tones against a raw, heavily textured background, the final artwork hardens a fleeting emotional brief into an unbreakable visual legacy.

Private Commissions: A Case Study

Layered with narrative weight, this deeply moving abstract artwork stands as a powerful exploration of connection, lineage, and the profundity of a father’s love. The painting freezes the pure, uncomplicated closeness of early childhood before the world steps in.

The composition features two radiant, interlocking loops that wind across the canvas to form a single, stylized heart. The scaling of the shapes tells the core story of the brief: the smaller, secondary ring is nestled protectively within the larger, sheltering embrace of the first. This deliberate placement mirrors the father’s longing to provide a sanctuary for his young son, evoking the sense of a shared heartbeat running between the two.

Set against a heavily textured, volcanic grey-black background that mimics ancient, weathered stone, the glowing lines pulse with life. This stark contrast represents the timelessness of the parental promise. While the background evokes the weight, permanence, and challenges of the passing years, the vibrant, fiery loops stand out as an enduring beacon—a timeless symbol of unconditional protection, love, and a bond forged to last a lifetime.
