Expressive paintings for colourful spaces

Bold, characterful portraits full of movement and emotion

Art by Gem - a portrait painting in oils, expressive pink painting.

“ I used to photograph how people looked, now I paint how people feel”

“ After 10 years of being a portrait photographer, I now paint expressive, character-driven portraits full of colour, gesture and feeling.

Each painting starts from a photograph- sometimes my own, sometimes from a wonderful creative muse - and ends up somewhere completely its own.”

80's Kids - Framed Giclee Canvas (Worldwide Delivery)
from £109.00

This is a beautiful, bright and nostalgic giclee print, made from a drawing that took me over 300 hours to complete. I collated all the original toys, and photographed them professionally, then studied the photographs to create the drawing with coloured pencils.

Our premium canvas prints are made with museum-quality giclée printing on archival canvas for lasting color and detail. Each piece is stretched over wooden stretcher bars and finished with a solid wood frame. Ready to hang with pre-installed sawtooth hardware.

Made on demand

On location illustrations

I’ve always sketched my surroundings whilst travelling, waiting in airports/hospitals etc, but now I’ve started to share those sketches with you.

I show the process of creating these images over on my instagram.
