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

  1. Enquiry — Share who the portrait is for, intended setting, preferred size, and timeframe.

  2. Consultation + proposal — You’ll receive a clear recommendation, quote, and timeline.

  3. 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.

  4. Painting begins — Progress updates are provided as the portrait develops.

  5. 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.
