Commissions
I accept commissions to create unique paintings for my buyers. I work closely with my buyers to understand their needs. Throughout the commission, I send picture updates of my progress. Changes can be made as necessary. Once the painting is finalised, I help to frame, deliver and install the paintings (for Klang Valley clients). For interstate and overseas clients, I use a reputable courier company to send their paintings, rolled up in a secured hard tube.

This painting is inspired by George Stubbs “Whistlejacket”.
Wedding Portrait
2020, Oil, 51cm x 76cm
I created this oil portrait by referring to a photo. For portraits, I strive to capture not only the likeness but also the essence and personality of the person.
