Aurelia specialises in commissioned portrait painting in a traditional style capturing, not only the likeness, but also the essence of the person. She works fast with quick, fresh brush strokes but she can also paint in extreme detail if required. The paintings are in oils on Belgian linen with hand made gilded or washed frames. One cannot capture the colour of skin, eyes or hair of the person being painted from a photograph. A photograph can only give you a good likeness but not the soul.

Landscapes are painted from photographs. Aurelia travels extensively and paints only from her own reference where her last journey has been.

Aurelia offers the facility to travel to client's farms or game farms to photograph these and paint their favourite vistas on commission.
