Commissions
I do consider commissions for business and charity projects or personal use.
Please send me an Email or call for a chat about your requirements and I can send you a quote.
All work is copyright to myself, but licences may be available for the use of my commissions .
Example commissions include my walking trails, story maps and examples below..
A Story Map is a visual representation of your life story, capturing special locations, places, and events that hold meaning for you—whether as an individual, couple, family, or group of friends.
The concept grew from my 'All About Overton' painting, where I was commissioned to create a unique piece for a couple's wedding. This map highlighted their wedding venues, as well as personal details like their hobbies, favorite places, and even pets. It evolved into what I now call the "Picture Guest Book" (although I’m open to suggestions for a better name!)—a custom piece where wedding guests could write messages on the bespoke mount framing the artwork. The design was also adapted for stationery.
These Story Maps are an absolute joy to create, as we collaborate to make each one truly personal and unique. If you're interested in having one made for yourself or an upcoming event, feel free to get in touch!
This painting was such a pleasure to do - piecing together the composition and including special details, I was really pleased with the result (and now have those beautiful daisies in my front garden too!)
"I was at a total loss as to what to buy my husband for his 40th Birthday.... I then saw that Jo did commission pieces and the idea came to me... I asked her if she could paint our house even though we live in East Sussex!
So after some emails and a chat when I was back in Overton , Jo made a rough sketch from a photo I had, we talked about having us (my husband, our 2 year old girl and ‘the bump’ that would be born by his birthday) standing in the front. I then sent lots of photos of the house as well as some close ups of detail. Jo then drew a pencil sketch and emailed it to me to see what I thought, we had a few emails back and forth about final detail.. then came the coloured version for the final go ahead...
​
When I saw the finished painting I was delighted, Jo had captured our home perfectly I couldn’t believe it especially as it was all done from photos, a look at google maps and through emails. What a talent!
I would highly recommend Jo to anyone especially if you are looking for a unique and very personal present. Thank you Jo. x" Nevena

This was an interesting one - the trees and plants had been given pet names - so the pressure was on to paint them correctly!

"We asked Jo to create a unique painting as a 70th birthday gift. We had seen the accuracy and beauty of previous pieces of her work and knew she would create the perfect image for our family.
It was all so simple and relaxed: a chat, a few emails, some sketches, a bit more chat, a cuppa and done.
Jo made the whole process feel fun and special from the very first step. Our picture was just right and was incredibly well received.'" Miriam
This was such a beautiful house to paint.
"We commissioned Jo to do a painting of our new house. Jo was very friendly, flexible and helped us come to decisions about the best way to represent the house. She showed us step by step the progress so we could fine tune it.
The painting is incredible - it is such a great likeness of our beautiful house, and the attention to detail is amazing. We love it and we'll be asking Jo to do another view of the house in the future. Many thanks Jo" Anna
The owner 'chose' the favourite season to depict, and I painted the shrubs and flowers normally in the garden at that time. I moved a tree from the view to enhance the final composition and made the 'fake' window real! You can work magic in a painting....!
