Family Portrait Painting: Stories You’ll Keep Forever
Turn your favorite moments into a one-of-a-kind artwork. From candid phone photos to milestone portraits, I translate light, color, and emotion into a piece that feels alive.
Custom Pet Portrait: Capture Their Personality
From whiskers to wiggly tails, your companion deserves center stage. Choose oil for a timeless keepsake, or digital for a fast, print-ready piece you can share and display in multiple sizes.
Still Life Scene: Immortalise That Moment
Capture that room, scene or item that brings you back in time. From a sink full of baby items, to that favourite food that gives you comfort. Aren't still life scenes also portraits in some way?

Frequent Asked Questions
I want multiple figures in the same painting
For small portraits of more than one person/animal, there is an extra fee per additional figure:
+ 20% per animal
+ 40% per human
This will be calculated based on the complexity and size of the portrait. For example, in large portraits, there is usually no extra fee.
How much is it, and how much time does this take?
Prices can be checked in the image. If you're looking for something different, let me know.
Speed can be adjusted to your needs. If we're in a hurry, like holidays, I can finish a commission much sooner!
For normal times, a month for the whole process: we talk, plan, I paint, we talk again, make changes if needed, dry time, varnish time, dry again, certificate, goodies, packing and shipping :)
Busy times as pre-holidays can make longer times both to make the painting and to ship it. Let me know your needs so we can plan it :)
How's the payment done? Can I do installments?
Once we agree in all the details, I'll send you the invoice with the payment link. You can choose between debit/credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Shop pay, Google Pay, Klarna Pay Later, Klarna Pay in 3... and more.
Payment is made upfront but you can set up installments with Klarna.
See shipping policy and refund policy for more information.
Can I order different sizes?
Yes. Just let me know and we'll find the best size/price for your needs.
Can I choose format/materials?
Depending on the size, I'll choose the best materials for the painting. While cradled wood is used the most, we can also use cotton or linen canvas, wooden panel, oil paper... Of course, you can suggest which one you prefer so we can consider this beforehand.
