My name is Grace Murray-Rowley.

Expertly Framed 

I work closely with an excellent local framer who has over 40 years experience in creating beautiful frames for artwork. These frames include the finest anti-reflect, UV protect museum glass which is practically invisible, to give the best viewing experience and ensure that your portrait brings you joy for many years to come.

April & Jameson

My client Emory commissioned this 20x16" portrait of his beautiful wife April on her wedding day with her best friend of 14 years, Jameson, who very sadly passed away this year. It arrived safely with him in LA, USA!

"Painting came today and she absolutely loves it. Thank you again for making her birthday extra special! It came out absolutely amazing! It is something I know she will cherish forever. You have an amazing gift. It truly is unbelievable what you can do with pencils and a brush. Thanks again for sharing your talents and for your patience with my indecisiveness. :) P.S. I genuinely believe you could be charging a lot more. But before you do, I have a strong feeling that after my wife sees this she will probably ask you for portraits of our two boys. Ha."

Watch your portrait come to life

Throughout the creation of your portrait, I document the progress with short videos compiled into a 1 minute video.

​

Longer videos with personalised messages and backing music are also available by request, these add a lovely sentimental touch to gifts.

Family Portraiture

I love depicting the strong bonds between families in my art; I'm able to merge various photos together to bring members of the family together who perhaps never got to meet in real life due to bereavement, which has been such a sentimental process for my clients.

Do you have animals in your life who are inseperable? Putting them together in their portrait creates such a special piece. The portrait of these two sausages, Mayita and Milanessa, was drawn using 2 separate photos of them.
