Collaborating with Interior Designers
I love working with Interior Designers to bring creative visions to life and enhance spaces through thoughtful, impactful art. My goal is to make the collaboration process seamless and stress-free, allowing you to focus on crafting beautiful interiors for your clients.
In addition to accepting project-specific commissions, I also offer:
• Framed Museum-Quality Prints: Perfect for projects requiring flexibility in size and budget without compromising on aesthetic quality.
• Exclusive Originals: Access to a curated inventory of original pieces not available on my website, ensuring a unique selection for your projects.
I am particularly passionate about the connection between art and well-being, including the principles of neuroaesthetics—the science of how art and design impact emotional and psychological states. I’m always excited to collaborate on projects that consider how art influences mood, creativity, and a sense of harmony in spaces.
Let’s work together to create environments that are as inspiring as they are inviting! Reach out anytime to discuss your project or request a tailored portfolio.

Commissioning a Painting: A Journey to Your Perfect Piece
Creating commissioned artwork is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. Knowing that a piece is destined for a space where it will bring warmth, beauty, and personal meaning makes the process incredibly special. Art has the power to transform spaces and reflect the individuality of those who live there. What better way to achieve that connection than by commissioning a piece tailored just for you.
How the Commission Process Works
1. Get in Touch:
Start by sending me a quick email through the form above. To help me understand your needs, feel free to include answers to these questions:
• What size painting are you looking for?
• Do you have a deadline?
• Where will the painting be delivered (ZIP/Postal code)?
• How did you discover my work?
• Do you have a favourite painting of mine?
I’ll respond within three business days with a price quote and an estimated timeline.
2. Let’s Make It Official:
If you decide to proceed, I’ll send over a contract for us both to sign. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your commission, with the remaining balance due upon completion.
Note: If, for any reason, you decide not to keep the finished painting (though this has never happened!), your deposit can be applied toward any available original artwork on my website.
3. Design and Inspiration:
Once the contract is signed and the deposit is received, I’ll create a digital mood board and color palette tailored to your piece. If you have fabric swatches, paint samples, or other inspiration from your space, please share them! These details help ensure the painting will fit seamlessly into your home. After you approve the colour palette, I’ll begin creating.
4. The Creation Process:
Your painting will take about 4–8 weeks to complete. In many cases, I create two versions of your painting, giving you the option to choose your favorite. This approach eases the pressure on both of us and provides you with more flexibility.
When the painting is about 90% complete, I’ll share progress photos with you. At this stage, you can provide feedback—whether it’s “I’d love more blue,” “This part feels too busy,” or “Can we tweak this shape?” I’ll make the requested adjustments and present the final version for your approval.
Once approved, I’ll varnish, sign, and add hanging hardware. Commissions are typically created on 1.5” gallery-wrapped canvas and come unframed unless requested at contracting.
5. Delivery:
Paintings up to 48” x 48” are shipped via UPS or DHL. Larger works require specialised art shipping services, which can cost up to £500 and take several weeks based on the courier’s schedule. I’ll provide shipping fees and options before finalising the contract.
6. Let’s Begin!
If you have any questions about my process or want to explore your vision, I’d love to hear from you. Together, we’ll create something truly special for your home or space!
