Unearth what sets you free
Commission a vision of yourself entwined with nature, wild and free.
Let’s embark on a heartfelt journey together to unleash the magic that frees your spirit and sparks your 'wild self' through the beauty of portraiture. Reconnect with nature, delving into the elements to find where your soul finds its sweetest harmony, where every breath feels like coming home.
Indulge in the extraordinary by gifting yourself, a cherished friend, or beloved family member with a timeless treasure—an artwork capturing your essence in its purest form. Let your 'wild self' be immortalised on canvas, a daily reminder hanging gloriously on your wall, beckoning you to embrace your authenticity and live passionately every moment.
“Even if you’re uncertain about your ‘Wild Self,’ fear not. Through my light-hearted and informal ‘Uncovering your ‘Wild Self’ session before we commence the artwork, you’ll embark on a journey of self-discovery. As you connect with your inner wild, you’ll feel empowered and rejuvenated, ready to embrace the essence that lies within.”
Your portrait journey unfolds in two seamless steps. First, immerse yourself in an online session crafted to delve into the depths of your essence, uncovering the vibrant hues of your 'wild' spirit. Then, witness your essence spring to life in the artwork, where I blend your captured poses, body contours*, and the essence of nature's elements revealed during our session. Guided by an ethereal and expressionist touch, the resulting masterpiece becomes a living embodiment of your true self and untamed essence.
* Please note, you will not be required to send photos of yourself naked for your portrait. Well-fitting clothes are perfect so I can see your shape.
“It’s my mission to unite women in their love of nature and wildness of spirit, to celebrate freedom from conformity and empower women to express their true selves”. - EST.

FAQ
How long does the experience take?
The A4 digital artwork experience takes 2 weeks from completion of the online Uncovering your ‘Wild Self’ session. The A3 digital artwork experience takes 3 - 4 weeks after the video session with one approval stage before the painting is completed. The large acrylic painting experience takes 4 - 5 weeks after the in person meeting and photoshoot with one approval stage before the painting is completed. I will contact you via email with a link to the online session along with dates and timeslots for our video chat once you have chosen your option.
What is the difference between the digital and acrylic artworks?
The digital artwork is painted in Procreate/Photoshop with digital brushes and textures. The final artwork that you will receive is a Giclée print on heavyweight textured paper. A Giclée print is a type of pigment ink print that ensures that the print will not fade over time. The acrylic painting is soft based acrylic paint directly on to canvas, natural texture of the canvas and paint are there to see and enjoy.
Will I get to approve the look of it before it’s finished?
Yes absolutely. You will receive a digital proof prior to the A4 artwork going to print with opportunity to give feedback with minor changes. Both the A3 digital artwork and large acrylic painting options have an approval stage before the artwork is completed.
Can I have it framed?
The A4 digital Giclée print is delivered in a board backed envelope, unframed. I can of course recommend frames, do ask if you would like advice on where to buy. The larger digital print is mounted in a simple white, black or plain wood frame with perspex and the large acrylic painting is mounted in a white inset frame without glass as the artwork is on canvas.
How do I pay for the experience?
The A4 digital artwork is an upfront payment of the full amount. The A3 digital artwork requires a £75 deposit, paid through my web shop, to secure your commission which will be followed by an invoice for £125 upfront and the balance will be invoiced on approval of the sketch visual. The large acrylic painting requires a £240 deposit, paid through my web shop, to secure your commission which will be followed by an invoice for £250 upfront and the balance will be invoiced on choice and approval of a sketch visual.
