Family Painting Commissions

The family moments that seem smallest at the time can become the ones we remember most.

A painting that feels like your family

I am drawn to the ways families connect without necessarily noticing: a shared glance, children together, a quiet moment with a grandparent or simply being in a familiar place. Those little interactions have shaped much of my original work.

A personal family painting does not have to be a stiff or formal group portrait. The part that matters might be a mood, a gesture or a scene that holds its own story. I like to begin by hearing why a memory is important before talking about how it could be interpreted.

I offer a limited number of commissions throughout the year. If you would like to ask about a family piece, send a short description of the people and moment involved, and I can say whether it fits my approach and current capacity.

Can a family painting focus on a memory rather than a formal portrait?

That is often the most interesting starting point. Tell me what makes the moment important to you and we can discuss the possibilities.
