what are some of your services?

Large scale art production for hotels including bedrooms, corridors, lobbies and reception.

Collections of art for offices and restaurants.

Murals including lettering, room numbers, kids rooms and external walls. 

Private painting commissions for your homes, or gifts to mark special occaisons.

​

All art can then be used to produce stationary sundries like business cards, menus, "Do not Disturb" signs,

and writing paper for your business.

​

what mediums do you work in?

Acrylic paint is preferable for private comissions.

I use emulsion paint for large scale productions because it allows me to colour match with fabric swatches.

Other medium includes ceramic designs, digital art prints, collage, needlework, rubber stamping, plaster and more . 

​

what is the biggest project you have done?

The largest commission I have every completed was over 300 paintings, digital art prints, ceramic designs and mixed media 3D art  for a London hotel. In my gallery you will also see examples of artwork reproduced over 60 times for a hotel in Brighton.

​

i own a hotel/restaurant- why would i pay for paintings when prints are cheaper?

As mentioned previously, I have created work for commercial spaces in huge numbers.

Producing work on this scale has many benefits for my clients that go far beyond budgetary. Yes, paintings aren't as cheap as stock photo prints, but creating a hand painted bespoke design dozens of times is more cost effective than sourcing 100 different paintings.

For some companies, providing guests with an art filled, cultural experience is really important for your brand and customer experience. Being surrounded by original pieces of art, even in a series of 40/50 creates makes a space feel classy, one of a kind, and dare I say, very Instagrammable!

 

what are the benefits of hiring an artist for a large project?

Working large scale allows me to hold a holistic overview of the design for large scale projects, but still provide hand crafted, unique pieces that are responsive and sensitive to their surroundings and inhabitants.. I work closely with interior designers to create artwork that is harmonious with their vision for a space. 

My private commissions are approached in the same way, resulting in art that feels as if it has always been part of the home.

 

i've never commissioned art before- how does it work?
Here is a step by step of my usual process:
1) First and foremost, find out what art you already like and talk through my existing portfolio of work. Listening to and learning about you, your vision or even your company brand, helps me come up with ideas and gives me a framework to start from.

 

2) Discuss price and timeframe.
Being up front and clear is incredibly important to me not only because I believe in honesty and being comfortable in a collaboration, but I also believe freelance creatives should normalise being paid fairly for thier skills. Being open about my process and how long it takes me to create a piece, creates realistic expectations from all parties.

Some previous collectors have simply pointed out some of my previous work and asked me to create something similar (perhaps different size and colour palette). I will quote a price and crack on!
Other collectors like a more collaborative approach. Here is how that goes:

3) After exploring ideas and agreeing price bracket and timeframe, I could then create a mood board of ideas and colour palettes before sketching out a couple of ideas to show you. I am very open to feedback, as creating art is about bringing your ideas to life.

4) Once you are comfortable with the direction of the project, you will normally see a photograph or be invited to view the piece when I have completed it. There shouldn’t be too many surprises and if I get a create whim along the way, I will get in touch and have a chat about it.

 

how many times do we meet?

"Normal consultation" is usually 2 conversations for up to an hour each (outlined above in more detail) :

1st conversation, discussing tastes and ideas, budget and timeframe.

2nd conversation to gather feedback on my ideas as well as confirm price and timeframe.

​

do you charge for consultation?

Where meetings are required outside of "Normal Consultation", including extra meetings, meetings with larger teams or board members, a consultation fee will be outlined based on an hourly or daily charge. This will then be deducted from the price of the piece/s once the commission is confirmed. If no commission is agreed on, you will be charged for this time. To discuss this in person, please feel free to get in touch. 

 

how much do you charge?

Money can sometimes be uncomfortable to talk about, so I am happy to discuss prices and budgets without and judgement.

All prices are based on material costs, and how long each piece takes to create. For a quote please feel free to get in touch. 

​

when do i pay you?

For private commissions, I take a 50% downpayment before commencing the project. The second invoice will be sent to you when the items are dispatched. The second half of the payment is expected to be paid within 30 days of delivery.

 

For multiple pieces, or corporate projects, pricing instalments will be discussed in our second consultation.

​

delivery

You are welcome to collect your pieces in person or arrange your own collection. Otherwise, all items will be hand delivered either by me or by a courier with appropriate insurance. How you want to receive your art will be discussed before I start making. There are no hidden costs: delivery charges are included in all my quotes.

There are no refunds.
