MIXED MEDIA ARTIST

Commissions

Here are some examples of work that have been commissioned to create. Capturing someone else's vision has been a rewarding process for Margaret. Commissions often hold special memories depicting family members, pets or familiar places. Existing designs can be adapted to suit a specific wish such as colour, size, subject or medium.

A deposit of £100 is required as a starting price and final price depends on the complexity of the work and size of canvas. Minor alterations during the process are possible and included in the price.

“Margaret did a painting for me where I grew up, which she captured so well, I love it. Very talented local lady, I highly recommend her.”

- Andrea Paxton, Handforth

“I knew if I was having a commissioned painting done that I didn't want the kids or my husband - I wanted the cat! I had a fab photo of Gizmo that always makes me smile at how grumpy he is from when I'd bathed him and I think Margaret has captured him perfectly! I'm so thrilled and I'd highly recommend her!”

- Charlotte Gribben, Wilmslow

"We got to see some of Margaret's amazing work through a local art exhibition and fell in love with her style! Having bought one brilliant 'Curious Cow' painting we then commissioned a bespoke piece for our home as a gift for my wife. Margaret was super throughout the process - we met to discuss inspiration, colours and style all in a very relaxed way. Margaret worked her magic and we now have an amazing addition to our home - unique and special to us, above and beyond expectation!"

- Rob John, Alderley Edge
