Made for your wall
Commissions
Commissions begin with a conversation about your space, preferred scale and palette. Get in touch by email to discuss a direction.
A commission is a new painting for a wall you already know: your colours, your light, the feeling you want when you walk in. It starts with a conversation.

Tell me what you keep coming back to
Start by telling me which two or three of my paintings you keep coming back to, the size you're thinking, and anything about the room — colours, light, the feeling you want. That's enough for me to know we're a good fit.
Direction agreed
I come back with a direction, a firm size and a price. We settle the palette and the scale before I start, because once the painting is under way changes are not always possible — so any thoughts are best said early.
Deposit
Half to begin. The balance is due on completion, before delivery.
Painting
I send progress photographs at the points where the piece genuinely changes, rather than a running commentary.
Photographs, then delivery
When it's finished I'll send photographs. Once you're happy, we arrange delivery — hand-delivered and hung within Dubai, shipped anywhere else at cost.
A commission is a new painting, not a copy. I can't recreate a previous work — and the best pieces happen when I'm trusted to paint the way I paint.

Caring for the painting
- The paint stands off the canvas, so nothing should ever rest against its face. Lean other things elsewhere, and carry the canvas by its edges.
- Dust it now and then with a soft, dry brush. No cloths, no sprays, no water.
- Hang it out of direct sunlight, and out of the path of an air-conditioning vent blowing straight at it.
- The ridges catching the light differently through the day are the point. A painting should be enjoyed over and over, up close and from across the room.
