Grief, Made Beautiful
There are moments, and there are memories…
and then there are the few treasures that transcend both.
I offer an exclusive commission service for bespoke A1 biro portraits & an accompanying personalised video crafted with exquisite care to honour the memory of a loved one.
A new father cradles his son beneath the watchful presence of his late brother. A life begun on the day another was lost.
In this intimate commission, art becomes a bridge between generations. A brother, holding his newborn son, is captured in front of the portrait of his late sibling - a moment layered with love, loss, and legacy. Conceived through IVF on the very day his twin passed, the child carries both grief and hope in his story.
The accompanying video was set to his favourite, more upbeat song - a reflection of his spirit, chosen to bring light to the remembrance. Created within just 24 hours, the piece was ready to be played at his wake, allowing family and friends to share in both memory and celebration.
This commission is more than a portrait: it is presence, comfort, and continuity. A space where grief has room to breathe, and where love remains openly felt.
A film woven with your voice and chosen music, played at a funeral when words feel too heavy to speak aloud.
A tribute shown at a wake, gathering family and friends in shared remembrance and quiet celebration.
A keepsake for the home — a presence to return to, where memory and love can be felt again and again.
In times of loss, it can be hard to imagine what might bring comfort.
These works can serve a purpose you may not have thought of, offering presence and support when it is most needed:
In this deeply personal piece, I bring together a family separated too soon.
Commissioned by a loving sister, this artwork reimagines a moment that never had the chance to exist—featuring a mother, her late husband, and their now older child, united in one timeless portrait.
In this video, you’ll see the full Photoshop and illustration process as I superimpose reference images and build the drawing from scratch. It’s more than a drawing, it's a space to grieve, to remember, and to heal.
Whether you’re looking for a meaningful memorial gift, a way to honor someone you’ve lost, or simply want to witness the healing power of art, this video offers a glimpse into how memory and imagination can create something lasting.
This video and artwork are intended to be gifted as a keepsake alongside memories, offering a space to grieve and reflect.
Each commission includes not only the portrait itself, but also a timelapse film of its creation, woven with your chosen music and personal photographs. A moving keepsake to return to endlessly - a comfort that never fades, a memory that can be watched and felt, over and over again.
