Your Guide to Commissioned Artwork & Bespoke Paintings


Art has the unique power to transform a house into a home.

It adds personality, character, and a sense of identity to a space. While buying ready-made art is convenient, there's something truly special about commissioning artwork for your home. It allows you to bring your vision to life and create a connection with the artist.


I've worked with many clients to create bespoke artwork for them. Often to mark a significant birthday or anniversary. Many people choose to have a painting of a favouite place, family and animals, a home or an event.

I've also painted commissions for businesses - from The Welsh Assembly to restaurants to farmers.


Commissioning your own unique artwork from me is a straightforward and enjoyable process.

It is very easy to have your own unique piece of artwork painted just for you, perhaps a scene, place or event that has special significance.

Working with your ideas I will create a beautiful bespoke painting, something you will treasure that is unique to you.

​

Knowing that you have been involved in the creation of a work of art which wouldn't otherwise exist and of course, owning original artwork is pure pleasure.


Personal Expression

Commissioning artwork for your home is a chance to express your unique personality and style. Whether you prefer abstract paintings, realistic portraits, or sculptures, the commissioned piece becomes a reflection of your taste and preferences. Collaborating with an artist allows you to convey your ideas and preferences, resulting in a piece of art that resonates deeply with you.


Tailored to Your Space

One of the most significant advantages of commissioning artwork is the ability to tailor the painting to your space. Artists can create artwork that fits perfectly with the dimensions, colors, and ambiance of your room. This ensures that the artwork not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also seamlessly integrates with your interior design.



A Story to Tell

Every commissioned artwork has a story to tell. It's not just about the final product but also the journey of its creation. When you commission a piece, you get to know the artist's inspiration, process, and the stories behind the work. This connection adds depth and meaning to the artwork, making it more than just a decorative piece.



Collaborative Experience

The process of commissioning artwork is a collaborative experience. It involves communication and


sharing ideas with the artist. This interaction fosters a sense of connection and appreciation for the creative process. It's a journey where you and the artist work together to bring your vision to life, resulting in a piece that is truly one-of-a-kind.


Emotional Connection

Commissioned artwork often holds a deep emotional connection. Unlike mass-produced art, which may be beautiful but lacks personal significance, a commissioned piece is created with you in mind. It can evoke emotions, memories, and sentiments that are unique to your life and experiences.


A Lasting Legacy

Art has a timeless quality to it. When you commission artwork for your home, you're not just acquiring a decoration; you're creating a lasting legacy. The artwork can be passed down through generations, becoming a cherished family heirloom that tells a story about your life and values.



Commissioning artwork for your home is gratifying and meaningful. It allows you to express your individuality, support the arts, and create a lasting connection with an artist.

The resulting piece of art becomes more than just a decoration; it's a reflection of your personality, a testament to your support of creativity, and a lasting legacy that will continue to enrich your home for years to come.

If you're looking to elevate your space and add a touch of uniqueness, consider the transformative power of commissioning artwork.
