Yours Is Waiting.

If this work caught your eye, a commission allows us to create something with the same spirit — a vessel, a stretch of water, a moment in maritime history that means something to you.

You don’t need to have all the details. Many commissions begin with nothing more than a name or a memory. We’ll work out the subject, the setting, and the composition together.

Commissions from £1,450, all-inclusive. See the full commission journey.

Leave your details and I’ll reply personally, usually within one working day.
