Commissioned Artwork
Some stories deserve more than words
How Every Commission Begins
No two commissions begin in quite the same way.
​
Some clients arrive with a clear vision.
Others simply tell us about someone they love.
Some bring treasured photographs.
Others share letters, favourite fabrics or keepsakes filled with meaning.
Whatever you choose to share becomes the starting point for something uniquely yours.

Conversations
Photographs
Keepsakes
Every Story is Different
The story we were asked to tell
Inspired by a Lifetime of Travel
Listening
​
Understanding the memories and meaning behind the artwork
Designing
​
Thoughtfully developing sketches, colour and composition together.
Crafting
​
Hand-layering every element until the story begins to come to life.
Rather than recreating a place exactly as it was, we wanted to capture how it felt.
Inspired by treasured memories of Far Eastern travels, every layer was carefully composed to evoke a sense of adventure, discovery and wonder.
The finished artwork became more than a landscape.
It became a personal memory, retold through collage.​​

Every commission begins with understanding the story.
​

Every collage is handcrafted layered, layer by layer in our studio using thoughtfully chosen papers and textures.
​
4. You Welcome it Home

​
Before your artwork journey begins, we'll provide a clear commission agreement outlining the project details, timescales and next stages, so you can feel confident and cared for throughout the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’m not sure what I want yet?
​
Absolutely.
Many of the stories we create begin with nothing more than a memory, a favourite walk, a treasured photograph or simply feeling someone hopes to hold onto.
You don't need to arrive with all the answers.
Our role is to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions and gently help uncover the story you would like the artwork to tell.
Together we'll shape those ideas into a handcrafted collage that feels deeply personal and completely at home in the space it will eventually live.
Whenever you're ready, we'd love to welcome you for a complimentary, no-obligation conversation.
Can I see examples of past commissions?
​
Of course.
Every commissioned artwork begins with a different story, which means no two journeys are ever the same.
Within our Commission Brochure you'll discover a collection of artworks inspired by treasured pets, favourite places, family memories and meaningful moments, each created in close collaboration with the people who entrust us with their story.
If you'd like a copy, simply join our Collectors List where we'll also share studio stories, earl access to new collections and commission availability.
Can I include personal keepsakes in my artwork?
Yes- and these are often the details that make an artwork especially meaningful.
Many collectors choose to include handwritten letters, favourite book pages, maps, sheet music, lace or other treasured keepsakes that quietly become part of the artwork.
These carefully chosen fragments aren't simply added.
They're thoughtfully woven into the story, allowing the finished artwork to hold layers of meaning that are uniquely yours.
Should you decide to send original keepsakes, we'll guide you through the process and confirm their safe arrival as soon as they reach our studio, so you can feel completely at ease throughout the journey.
​
Can I choose the size?
​
Every commissioned is created around both your story and the home it will become part of.
Whether you're looking for a statement piece or something more intimate, we'll help you choose a size that feels beautifully balanced within your space.

Will I be involved throughout the creative process?
