Commission Portfolio

My commission work focuses on bringing fictional characters to life through expressive, character-led illustration.

I work closely with clients to translate written descriptions, references and ideas into artwork that feels true to the character — from individual portraits and busts to couples, groups and promotional artwork.

Below you'll find a selection of commissioned pieces, including original characters created for independent authors and their stories.
