Original artwork

Commissioning unique, original art for your home, workplace or for a loved one is a personal choice and an investment to last for years.

This commission example gave preferred size of canvas and a loose brief requesting floral/meadow including buttercups and daisies but otherwise free rein.

This is a painted canvas using chalk paint pens and fineliner with a loose, summery feel.

The size of canvas was a challenge but a welcome one!

“It catches my eye every time I go into the hall and makes me smile”

“Helen produced such a beautiful image of the wedding venue for my mum and dad's 50th wedding anniversary gift.

It's now at the framers and I can't wait to give them the finished piece.

Thank you for such an easy and wonderful service.”
