Special Effects Makeup for Film and TV

I have had the privilege of being invited to work as a special effects makeup artist on a series of film projects. To date, I have contributed to two music videos and two short films and I have also been invited to work with the main cast for a feature film which begins filming next month. I am thrilled to be part of such creative projects and work with some of Australia's finest film crew. The work has ranged from creating zombies through to facial lacerations and realistic injury effects. These projects do take a while in post production but as soon as I am allowed to publish, I will add them to my new page dedicated to my special effects work which is currently under construction.

New commissions

It's been a busy few weeks here at the studio. I have been busy with several new commissions. I'm loving the requests that I am getting at the moment for the designs for some of these casts, lots of landscapes which are sentimental for the place that the babies are either conceived or born or simply where the couple were married. I'm now working on a cast featuring a castle gate in Suffolk, England which will be the first time I have ever painted a building!! Keep the requests coming, I always love to hear what I am to paint next.......

More Commissions........

Just adore getting to paint portraits with such amazing backdrops as the West Australian coastline. I have accepted commissions both interstate and international so if you are thinking about the most perfect unique gift for a loved one, maybe for someone who has holidayed here in our beautiful state, do get in touch for a quote.
Check out my latest completed commission. More images of this commission together with the original photographs will be available to view soon on the website.

Portrait Work

My latest portrait is now complete! This one was an emotional piece, commissioned by the subject's sister-in-law. The lady in the painting sadly passed away, and the painting is to be given to her little nieces to remember her. As the painting is to be displayed in the children's bedroom, we decided to add the blossom trees in the misty meadow while the angel watches over them. Her name has also been carved into the tree trunk. A privilege to have been part of. x
