COMMISSIONS

Create a lasting memory by transforming a favourite photo into a hand‑drawn, one‑of‑a‑kind artwork.

There is no better way to honour a beloved pet or wildlife encounter than with a custom portrait created using archival‑quality coloured pencils and papers — materials designed to last a lifetime.

I accept all wildlife subjects, from native species to domestic pets.

How to Begin

Choose the size you’d like and consider the space where the artwork will be displayed, allowing room for framing. Custom sizes and framing options are available on request.

Select a few of your favourite photos* — or take new ones using a smartphone or digital camera. Please email the images as large, high‑quality files so I can clearly see the fine details. Once I’ve reviewed your photos, I’ll create a mock‑up for you to approve or adjust before the drawing begins..

Booking & Payment

Once the reference image and size are confirmed, a 50% booking fee is required to secure your commission. This fee becomes non‑refundable once the drawing process has started. An invoice will be emailed to you, and payment can be made via bank transfer or PayPal.

During the Process

I’ll send progress photos once I begin your artwork. If you have questions at any stage, you’re welcome to contact me by message or phone — communication is always encouraged.

Completion & Delivery

When your portrait is finished and you’re happy to receive the final piece, the remaining balance is due. Once payment is received, your artwork will be carefully packaged and shipped to you.

Copyright & Reference Images

* All reference photos must be your own, or you must have written permission from the photographer (e.g., from a professional photo session).
You may also use royalty‑free images from sites like Pixabay, or purchase licensed images from platforms such as iStock.
If you have a particular animal or pose in mind, I’m happy to help you find a suitable reference image.

Price Guide

Prices are in Australian dollars as of March 2024.

Prices are based on one subject and on paper size. Additional subjects, backgrounds, or detailed elements may incur extra costs. Please contact me to discuss your ideas so I can provide an accurate quote.

Final artworks are supplied unframed and unmounted, but I’m happy to organise framing if needed.
