Art by Mia Murray

Typically 4-8 weeks depending on my current workload and the complexity of the piece. I put a minimum of 25 hours into each portrait, with most averaging 35+ hours. If you're working to a deadline (birthday, Christmas, anniversary), please let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate.

The best photos are clear, close-up shots taken in natural light where the subject's features are clearly visible. I can work with multiple photos and combine elements to create the perfect composition. Don't worry if you're unsure - send me what you have and I'll advise which would work best.

Absolutely! I ship throughout the UK and can arrange international delivery too. Each piece is carefully wrapped in tissue paper and placed in a protective presentation box for safe transit.

I require a 50% deposit to secure your place in my schedule, with the remaining balance due upon completion. Payment can be made via bank transfer or through my Etsy shop.

Of course! Many of my commissions are surprise gifts. I can work discreetly with you on photo selection and keep everything under wraps. I also offer gift vouchers if you'd prefer the recipient to choose their own portrait.

Pyrography is the art of decorating wood by burning designs onto the surface with a heated tool. I create intricate portraits, nature scenes and bespoke designs on beautiful wood rounds. Each piece is completely unique and makes a stunning display item or gift.
