Can you write personalised details on a piece of calligraphy?
Yes, absolutely! One of the joys of handwritten and individual work is that it is tailored to your requirements. Names, dates and places etc can all be incorporated into the design. For example, the name of the bride and groom and the date and place of the wedding can all be written on a poem or vows as a memento of their special day. Please click here to see an example.

Are any of the pieces of work on your website for sale?
Yes, some of the pieces are for sale. Many of the pieces are commissioned works and others have already been sold. Please contact me to enquire about the price and delivery options. If there is a piece of calligraphy you would like but which is not for sale, please let me know as I may be able to do a similar piece specially for you.

Do you do paintings to commission?
I'm sorry but I don't take commissions for paintings. My painting, the inspiration of what to paint and how to paint it, is very personal. When I see something I want to paint, there is a burning desire to begin and to capture the subject. That impulse sustains me through to the finished piece. However, whilst I have included all the different types of painting I do, there are some paintings not on the website. Please contact me if you would like to see more.

How long will the work take?
The length of time from order to delivery depends on several factors - the size and complexity of the work; materials used and whether they have to be ordered specially; time taken for the client to approve drafts; and my workload at the time of ordering. However, I will give an estimate of the delivery time during the initial consultation. If the work is required by a specific date I will do my best to fit it in and will let you know if this is not possible before the order is placed. If I am unable to do the work I can give names and contact details of other calligraphers who might be able to help.

Can you tell me how much it will cost?
For calligraphy commissions, it is incredibly difficult to give a guide price since each piece of work is unique and tailored to the client's requirements. I will give an estimate during the initial consultation and the more information you can give, the more accurate this will be.

Can I collect the work?
Yes, by all means. You can arrange this during the initial consultation.

Can you post the work to me?
Yes, but generally only if it is not framed. Framed work can be packaged carefully and sent but an extra charge will be made for this. I usually send work using the Royal Mail's Special Delivery which has a guaranteed next-day delivery and which insures the work. Postage and packing will be charged pro rata and I can give an idea of what this might be prior to posting.
