Thank you for choosing to embark on this creative journey together. It is my absolute pleasure to help create a unique piece that will be with you for years to come.

I’m delighted you’ve found out about me from Wild Bush Teddington, my absoloute favourite place to take my pets for grooming!

To show my appreciation, as your supporting a local artist and commissioning via Wild Bush Teddington, I’m pleased to offer 15% off commissions for a limited period.

Additionally, I will personally frame, and mount your commission free of charge (usually £50), in an exclusive Black A3 frame.

I really look forward to connecting soon but for now, the flow below simplifies the steps we’ll go through to ensure your piece is the best it can be:

Fill in the form on this page:

• This ensures that I’ve all the right details

• Please only use this form so I know you’ve come from Wild Bush (you will only get the discounted cost with this form)

Personal phone call or face to face chat (if local) to:

• Clarify the details on your form including aligning on a delivery date

• If not provided, how to select the right image for us to work with

Deposit:

• After our initial call I will supply an invoice for the initial 50% non refundable deposit of £150 to secure your place on my wait list

• The balance of £149 will only be payable upon completion and prior to shipment

Providing a photo:

• The single most important step!

• A quality image of your pet or loved animal is a must, regrettably I cannot work from a blurry image

• To help you, I’ve written this guide with do’s and don’ts Here

• When you upload your image I will check and confirm it’s the quality we need

Materials I use:

• I employ premium materials, utilising high-quality drafting film and lightfast pencils. This combination ensures the longevity and vibrancy of your pet's portrait, granting you a lifetime of enjoyment

• The drafting film possesses a stunning satin finish, allowing for intricate details and vibrant colours. Moreover, its opaque nature permits the incorporation of different coloured backgrounds, enabling personalisation that harmonises with your unique style

Working on your piece:

• Once commissioned and the deposit paid, I begin work

• Each piece takes in access of 12 hrs to complete to the full A4 (suitable for framing in A3 with border)

Progression:

• I will only share a piece once I’m completely happy and I consider it finished

• I will always check in to show you the finished illustration before shipment or delivery to ensure it meets your expectations and for any minor tweaks

Delivery/Shipment

• For your peace of mind, the finished artwork will be hand delivered personally if local or shipped via Royal Mail if not

• I can also ship unframed and unmounted to allow you to select a frame suitable for your needs (there is no discount if you choose this option)

• Every delivery is tracked and insured, at no additional cost

Full Terms and Conditions

Thank you for choosing to own a piece of locally and lovingly made art. I genuinely hope it brings you years of pleasure and as much joy as it will have brought me in creating it!

Finally, if you’d like to further support me, do follow me on instagram and tell your friends and family about my work.

I very much look forward to speaking soon!
