Executive Portraits in Oils — honouring leadership and legacy
Hand-painted realist oil portraits for leaders, founders, and professionals — created in Perth and commissioned interstate.
An executive portrait is more than a likeness. It’s a statement of character, leadership, and legacy — a piece that carries presence in the room and meaning over time.
I create realist oil portraits (not photorealism) with a focus on capturing personality and quiet authority. Each commission is guided through a clear process, from consultation to final delivery, with progress updates throughout.
CEOs, founders, and business leaders
Partners and principals (law, finance, advisory)
Retirement presentations and milestone gifts
Boardrooms, reception areas, and private offices
Family-commissioned legacy pieces
Who these portraits are for:
Size, presentation, and what’s included
Because these portraits are often displayed in professional settings, scale and presentation matter. I’ll help you choose the right size based on:
where the portrait will hang (boardroom / office / home)
viewing distance and wall space
whether it’s a single subject or group portrait
framing preferences and overall aesthetic
Starting from AU$5,000 + GST.
Includes consultation, guidance on reference photos, and progress updates throughout.
Group and team portraits available on request.
The commission process
Enquiry — Share who the portrait is for, intended setting, preferred size, and timeframe.
Consultation + proposal — You’ll receive a clear recommendation, quote, and timeline.
Reference & planning — I’ll guide you on reference photos so we have everything needed to paint a strong likeness. I can also arrange a reference photo session if needed.
Painting begins — Progress updates are provided as the portrait develops.
Framing + delivery — Final approval, then delivery/collection/shipping.
A note on style
My work is realist and painterly — designed to feel timeless and human, with careful attention to flesh tones, structure, and expression. The goal is a portrait that feels present, not simply “copied” from a photo.
Send an enquiry with the subject, intended setting, and timeframe — I’ll reply with recommended sizes, a quote, and next steps.
