How it works
1 / The moment
There’s usually one moment that stays with you.
The light across the peaks.
The stillness before the first run.
That sense of space you don’t find in everyday life.
You take a photo.
But it never quite holds it.
That’s where these paintings begin.
2 / What this is (and isn't)
This isn’t a literal re-creation of a photograph.
It’s a translation of a moment.
Working from your images and your memory, I create a painting that reflects the atmosphere, the light, and the feeling of being there.
Something that lives with you - long after the trip is over.
3 / How it works
-
Share your moment. Send me a photo and a short note about what made it meaningful.
-
Finalise the brief. We chat over email or a call to discuss all the details, including how you'd like the painting to make you feel, the size required and painting timeline. Limited commission spots are available each month.
-
I create the piece. I interpret the scene in my style — focusing on feeling, not precision. I'll share photos along the way to ensure you're happy with the final piece.
-
You hang your new mountain view in your home. A one-of-a-kind painting, created just for you.
4 / Who is this for?
This is for you if:
-
There’s a moment from your mountain trip that you keep thinking about
-
You want something more evocative than a photo
-
You connect to art that feels expansive and atmospheric
This isn't for you if you'd prefer a hyper realistic painting or photograph.
5 / What people say
"It really captures the feeling and light you get in the mountains."
"The painting is stunning and exactly what I talked about with Madi."
"It feels like you've just stepped off a chair lift."
"I feel instantly relaxed when I look at my mountain painting from my desk."
