Commissions
"Just off to Georges"
This commission was a complete surprise for the lovely lady on the bike from her husband for her birthday but it was also to say thank you for looking after his father, George, for the last two years of his life. George lived in the next village and she would make the trip often on her bike.
It's been such a pleasure and privilege creating this painting about home, family and unconditional love and kindness.
"Having loved Helens’ work for quite a few years, my husband surprised me with the opportunity of commissioning Helen to create a piece of artwork for our home. What a lovely experience! From the initial discussion of ideas with Helen to the sharing of photo’s and thoughts which culminated in the official unveiling. The joint experience was so enjoyable and personal and the result was wonderful. In her very special style, Helen was able to capture the spirit of what is really important to me. Breathtaking!"

“We recently commissioned a painting from Helen to reflect our holiday experiences in Norfolk. The whole process was undertaken in a very thoughtful way with the use of photos and personal discussions enabling Helen to sketch her first thoughts.
Once agreed this was transformed into the finished painting using our choice of colours combined with Helen’s own unique style.
The final result was stunning and far exceeded our expectations.”

"I was looking for a picture to put on a newly painted wall. I had bought one of Helen’s paintings a few years back and was looking at her website when I saw that she does commissions. My 60th birthday was coming up and I knew I wanted something special and a commissioned painting would be ideal.I met with Helen and we discussed what colours I liked and what little symbols I wanted in the painting that were personal to me. I was completely bowled over when I saw the end result. The picture was unveiled at my birthday party and it was so fun to see my friend’s reactions. They were really taken with the vibrant colours and little symbols.I will have that picture forever and I love the thought that it will be passed down to my children and then to their children.I am so glad I had it done - it’s perfect!"
