Commission an Original Painting, Where Your Story meets My Art
A bespoke artwork inspired by your connection to Africa, created especially for you
The ABSA Bank Exhibition
Two Commission Experiences
Classic Commission:
An original painting created especially for you.
Your commissioned artwork will become part of my Classic Collection. The original painting belongs exclusively to you, while carefully selected limited edition and open edition fine art prints may be released by me in the future.
This option is perfect for collectors who would like to commission an original artwork while allowing its story to continue through carefully selected fine art editions.
Legacy Commission:
For collectors seeking complete exclusivity, the Legacy Commission represents the highest level of personal commissioning I offer.
Your painting will remain a true one-of-a-kind original. It will never be released as a fine art print edition, ensuring your artwork remains uniquely yours while still allowing me to honour it within my personal portfolio and future publications where appropriate.

Every Commission begins with a Story -
Whether it's a treasured wildlife encounter, a favourite place, or a lifelong connection to Africa, together we'll create an original artwork that captures its spirit and meaning.To ensure every commissioned artwork receives the time, care and creative attention it deserves, I accept only a limited number of commissions each year. Every enquiry is personally reviewed to ensure it is the right fit for both the collector and my artistic vision.Each commissioned artwork is accompanied by a beautifully filmed studio video, allowing you to experience the creative journey behind your painting and become part of its story.A Personal Collaboration
Each commission begins with a conversation. Your memories, experiences or connection to Africa provide the inspiration, while every painting is created in my distinctive artistic style.
I accept commissions where I feel I can create something truly special for both the collector and the artwork itself. My goal is not simply to paint an image, but to create an original piece of art that tells a meaningful story and will be treasured for years to come.
Over the years, I've been privileged to create commissioned artworks for both private collectors and corporate clients. My largest corporate collector currently owns 19 commissioned artworks, while my largest private collector has collected 14 commissioned pieces for their home—a wonderful testament to the lasting relationships that can grow through art.
Commissioned paintings have celebrated weddings, birthdays, treasured holidays, businesses and personal milestones. Whether inspired by a remarkable wildlife encounter or a lifelong love of Africa, every commission is approached with the same care, passion and attention to detail.
Why a Waiting List?
Every painting I create is personally researched, designed and painted by hand. Alongside my own collections and Legacy artworks, I can accept only a limited number of commissions each year.
The waiting list allows me to give every collector the time, attention and creative focus their artwork deserves while ensuring each commission is a project I genuinely believe will become something exceptional.
