⸻

How detailed should my brief be?

You don’t need to have every detail figured out. I love hearing the story behind your commission, the space it’s meant for, or the feeling you’d like it to evoke. Once I understand the vision, I create the artwork in my own style, leaving room for creativity and interpretation.

Yes. You’ll receive photographs of the completed artwork before dispatch to ensure you’re happy with the final piece.
