COmmission a Painting
Commissioning a custom artwork is a wonderful way to immortalise cherished memories and meaningful experiences. At our first meeting, I will listen and make notes about your story, favourite artists, colour palettes and any visual references you might want to include. Whether it's a beloved place, a special person, or a memorable moment from your life, I am excited to collaborate with you and transform these personal stories into a painting made just for you to love.
Let's Create Together
Share your ideas, memories, and inspirations with me, and together, we'll bring your vision to life in a bespoke painting. Whether it's a landscape, portrait, or abstract preference. I am dedicated to crafting an artwork that resonates with you, and I will work with you in each stage of the commission.
My commission painting process
Client Visit
We'll start with an initial meeting to chat about the painting and gather significant references for inspiration. I'll take notes and photos to create a maquette.
2. Maquette
Back at my studio, I'll craft a scale-down maquette. This will be placed in a room setting for visualisation and shared with you for feedback. Once approved, I'll begin painting.
3. Work in progress
The project progresses continuously, and we'll discuss updates together. Feel free to meet in person at any point to review progress.
4. Final piece and installation
Once the painting is finished, I'll reach out to arrange delivery and installation if needed, ensuring everything is set up to your satisfaction.
Examples of commissioned paintings
My light shines on
“Caroline was wonderful to work with. She really listened to me to understand what I was looking for. She spent time with me in my home to get an real understanding of me, what I love, my life history and the colours that I wanted. I didn't have a specific idea of what the painting should be, I just had an idea of the essence I wanted. Caroline has interpreted that information into a picture that I love and is perfect for me and my home. She sent me regular updates so that I could see the progress of my painting and asked for my feedback. There was only one very small colour change, which I wanted and which Caroline then incorporated. She came over to my house and showed me a miniature of my painting, to get my feedback before she went ahead with the larger version. I loved the miniature. The actual painting is truly wonderful and has so exceeded my expectations. It looks fabulous on my wall. Thank you Caroline, you put your heart and soul into this painting and I will treasure it forever.”

Precious fields
“Caroline created this wonderful piece of work for me after a conversation about my love of meadow flowers and nature. I asked for something to combine those themes. I really love what she came up with, I have it in my bedroom and look at it every day. Just totally delighted with the painting.”
Deborah
journey back home
“I wanted something that would remind me of my childhood home. I had a conversation with Caroline and she took some notes and asked some questions about artists that I liked, and the pallet of the painting. There were updates all the way through the whole process and I was delighted with the outcome which is now hanging in our home.”
