How to hire a portrait artist in Leeds
Rob keeps things simple. You share the story behind your portrait, he recommends the medium and size that will do it justice, and then the painting takes shape in his North West studio while you receive updates along the way.
- A relaxed consultation by phone, video call or email
- A choice of oils, acrylics or chalk pastels

Commissions are often planned around a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding, or as a way of marking someone’s memory. Expect several weeks from first conversation to finished painting, with plenty of notice given if you’re working towards a specific occasion. Rob will also advise on framing and sizing so the finished piece feels at home on your wall.
Rob trained at Padgate Art School and sold out his debut exhibition in 2003. His figurative realism is inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite movement, the same tradition of honest, atmospheric portraiture you’ll find at Leeds Art Gallery.
