PORTRAITS and PORTRAIT COMMSSIONS

This collection showcases my portrait paintings including my Archibald and Portia Geach prize entries as well as select portrait commissions.

If you are interested in a portrait commission it is important to note my approach. 

I work from a physical sitting/meeting either at my Sydney Studio or the Studio in Tahiti. During this meeting I get a feel for the subjects energy and personality which is just as important as a physical likeness and contributes greatly to the success of the final painting. After styling the subject with previously discussed props/accessories, flowers etc, I take numerous high resolution photographs with specific lighting to generate the mood and feel of the portrait. I then work from these photographs to create the portrait painting.

I currently work on a six month lead time for a commissioned portrait with my prices starting at $5000US for a single subject on a canvas 90 x 60cm. As the number of subjects and the size of the canvas increases, so too does the price which will be calculated prior to the sitting.

I work on a 20% non refundable deposit upfront and the balance is due upon completion of the portrait.
