Your Place in Paint

A bespoke way to bring a meaningful landscape into your life.

We all have places that stay with us — a walk we return to, a view that holds a memory, a landscape that feels like home. With Your Place in Paint, you can share a location that matters to you, and I’ll create an original painting inspired by being there.

How it works

Choose your place – Send me a What3Words, postcode, or Google Maps pin of a location that’s special to you.
I’ll go there – I’ll visit the spot, sketch, and absorb the atmosphere, light, and colour. Photos may support the process, but they’re never the starting point — it’s about capturing the energy of being there.
The painting – Back in the studio, I’ll translate those impressions into a finished abstract landscape, unique to you.
Your story – Alongside the painting, you’ll receive a short note about the visit and how the landscape found its way onto the canvas.

Package Options

Small – 30 x 30 cm original painting, plus handwritten studio notes.
Medium – 60 x 60 cm original painting, plus a set of process sketches.
Large – 100 x 100 cm original painting, with sketches and a studio video walkthrough of your piece.

Why it’s different

Unlike traditional commissions, these paintings don’t copy a photograph. They capture presence, memory, and feeling — how a landscape lives and breathes. Every piece is a collaboration between your story and my response to the land.

Sketchbooks I never show

My sketchbooks are full of half-ideas—loose marks, quick colour tests, things that didn’t quite work but might lead somewhere else. They’re not made to be pretty. They’re rough, unfinished, and often messy, but that’s exactly why they matter.

This is where I try things out without pressure. Where accidents spark new directions. A torn edge, a scribbled note, a colour combination I’d never have planned—these are the seeds of future work. Sometimes what begins as a throwaway page becomes the start of a whole new painting.
