Union Portraits
A complementary pair within a single frame.
For some, the union portrait marks the beginning of a new adventure, or the balance to the unbalance. For others, it is a totem at the end of a long journey with the closet of friend. Union portraits are an opportunity to remind yourself and others of the depth of our ability to connect.

Testimonials
Hear from Robert's clients
Our clients love working with Robert, just read what they have to say!
I can't recommend Robert enough for anyone interested in having a portrait commissioned. Robert made what can be quite an odd process of capturing a snapshot of a person's life incredibly smooth and created a painting that reflects all of the emotions of the moment perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the end result!
I commissioned Robert to create a painting for my sister of her beloved dogs.It was so much fun - he involved me at every stage, making it feel like a collaboration.I ended up with a gorgeous painting and it had the desired effect, my sister cried with joy (and her dogs barked with alarm at their lifelike oil doppelgängers!)I can’t recommend him enough!
Robert unveiled his portrait of my wife and I at our wedding. We hadn’t really considered how well an oil portrait would accompany such an occasion but it was an elegant addition to the event. It will take pride of place in our home
