I welcome commissions in all forms – from ceramic pet portraits, to intricate embroideries and hand painted illustrations. You can see some examples of my recent work in the menus below.
Ceramics
Ceramic pet portraits start from £30
Embroideries
Whether it is your four footed best friend, or a steampunk badger I love the intricate art of “painting” with individual strands of embroidery thread. These unique embroideries start from £100.
Mixed Media Collages
I love creating these one of a kind collages to capture favourite memories and events – using found objects, vintage ephemera and treasured mementos – I can help source the “ingredients” or use your items – perhaps some beads from grandma’s necklace, a piece of lace, a postcard, or sea glass collected on a stroll along a beach. I have a large selection of found and vintage objects which can be included – linen maps, wildlife illustrations and collectors cards… we’re limited just by imagination!
Illustrations & Prints
From illustrated maps for conservation and community groups, to fine nature illustrations and everything in between!
I’m very happy to chat about any ideas you may have. To give you an idea of costs – a small stylised ceramic model starts at £30, embroidered portraits typically start at £100 depending on size.
The cost of illustrations and maps will vary depending on size and detail level required – everything can be tailored to meet your needs and budget.

My sister requested a portrait of my pupster Lexi for my Christmas pressie. Well it didn’t disappoint. The most amazing and thoughtful present ever. It makes me smile everyday when I walk past it on the wall. Thoughtful and awesome all in one beautiful frame. Thank you. Xxx
Victoria has produced a number of illustration maps for park events. Her work is superb and many people who come to the events comment on the skill and detail of the work. We have used these illustrations in a number of ways: as “treasure map” games, as “find the creatures” hunt with wildlife information, or simply as a map to show details of our park. The end result always has elements of humour and clever detail that demonstrate a very observant eye, Victoria includes small personal details in the drawings that make them truly unique and belonging to our community.
Gemma said straight away about the texture being the same as Buster’s fur. Thank you so much again, I think your work’s amazing ❤️
We wanted a map of our orchard to go on an external noticeboard. The drawing Victoria produced for us was amazing not only including the orchard and wildlife features we’d discussed but somehow capturing the very essence and spirit of the orchard and the volunteers who help maintain it.
