Portraits | About

My drawings are made with acrylic ink and wash on paper, using traditional dip pens and brushes.

I work entirely from life; this means that my drawings are always completed on the spot, and they create a record of a very particular time and place.

I love doing commissions! So far I've been asked to make portraits of people's beloved cats and dogs, but I'm open to tackling any kind of animal, or even cars, houses and gardens! You can view my gallery of ink portraits here.

A typical commission includes:
•  Ink portrait drawn from life

•  Custom archival quality framing with Artglass
•  2+ preparatory sketches
•  Delivery to you

•  Digital copy for personal use

​

Priced from NZ$550 for small size (90mm drawing/175mm when framed)

​

Extras available:

• Greeting cards are great for spreading the love around!  More about my cards
