My largest Corporate Collector currently holds 19 commissioned artworks from me in their office space and my largest Private Collector currently holds 14 of my commissions in their home.
The company, Lombard Insurance commissioned me to do a birthday gift for Leppard & Associates. This lead on to more commissions by Leppard & Associates who asked me to paint for every office including the boardroom.

Testimonials:
We commissioned Mary-Jane Persson to create specific art pieces for our offices that uplifted the ambience in the working environment and created a sense of harmony through colour and beauty. She has an amazing skill for creating art in alignment with the energy of the space of the client through her passion for what she does.Simon Leppard-Leppard & AssociatesI commissioned Mary-Jane to paint two landscape paintings for me. It was a very easy process from beginning to end. From the moment I first emailed Mary-Jane, she communicated clearly with me. I was very happy with both my paintings (one forest one waterfall) They were couriered to me in the UK which was an easy process that she handled. They were packed safely and I loved my surprise gift that she added in! -Louise Barale Mary-Jane’s ability to bring her art to life is incredible. Each and every part of what she paints symbolises a life-like feel to it. Her attention to detail takes you on a journey to feel that the animal portrayed is so realistic that you can tangibly feel it. I absolutely love all her work, from the wildlife through to her landscapes. I have bought multiple paintings from her. I live in Sydney, Austrailia and postage and delivery has been easy.-Sharon CylkowskiFrequently asked Questions

Archival fine art prints are made to last. They are a superb gallery quality print that uses the best inks available for printing. They are on acid-free canvas or paper which preserves the high quality of the print. All my printed artworks are Archival Fine Art Prints, whether they are Limited Edition or Open-Edition prints.
-
Limited-Edition prints are the highest value prints available. I personally hand-sign and number each Limited-Edition print and post it to you. The number of prints are limited to a very small edition; 10 prints on Canvas and 25 prints on Paper. Each print is a perfect representation of my artwork and superb quality.
-
An Open-edition print basically has no limit on the amount of prints that can be made. It is not hand-signed or numbered, but it does still carry my visible signature as seen on the original painting. It is a perfect representation of my artwork and is of a superb quality. The Open-Edition prints are more affordable and will almost certainly fit into any budget.

You may have come across the term Giclée print (pronounced Zhee - clay). Giclée print is a type of archival fine art print. It is made using high-quality inkjet printers with archival pigment-based inks on acid-free, archival-grade paper or canvas. This process ensures exceptional color, detail, and longevity. All giclée prints are archival fine art prints, but not all archival fine art prints are giclées.

I bring you into my world to ‘Meet My Muse’, the wild animals. Be a part of my creative process, including the inspiration that led to the artwork being created in the first place! I take you on the journey with me, an African safari adventure, where you are witness to the inspiration first hand. You meet the wild animals I encounter and then join me in my private art studio for an inside peek to the actual artwork being made. I talk to you about the wild animals featured in each video and I include my thoughts behind the artwork as I move along creating the painting or drawing.
