Having published a few greeting card designs, it did not take long for individuals to request bespoke commissions.  Armed with a sense of humour, an eye for detail and a flair for watercolour and ink, Helena's compositions and artwork evolved.

​

Each have been based on the recipients hobbies, interests, special events, cars, motorbikes, vehicles, careers, pets, cats, dogs, even a tortoise!  Sketched first with the main subjects and background to suit.  The design is then made permanent with ink.  Colour is applied using watercolour pencils and a paint brush, allowing Helena to achieve such fabulous colourful detail.

​

Commissions are generally based on photographs provided by the customer, though Helena is known to conduct her own research particularly when challenged with painting specific vehicles and/or scenes.  For further details, please contact Helena.

​

Recently, Helena has added another string to her bow, fine art commissions using acrylic paints on natural slate.  Prices start at £50.  Also, memorial stones - Prices varies.

Go on, treat yourself, family or friends, these make such excellent gifts.......

For the watercolour and ink illustrations, prices range from £120 to £300 dependant on size and complexity.  Below are a few examples of these delightful paintings:

This commission was created and painted for a small business in Dolwyddelan; Namthip Thai Meals.  Namthip asked for a golden Buddha and a Thai flag.  The dragon, fire birds, flowers etc., were a bonus.  Painted using mostly metallic acrylics on a beautiful and extremely heavy piece of natural slate provided by the customer.  The Thai artwork was finally spray lacquered many times to protect it from the elements.
