Hey there, I’m Chaya.

I paint in acrylic on canvas, and I paint portraits to order. These are the canvases in my studio right now.

Portraits, painted to order

A portrait of someone you love, painted by hand in acrylic on canvas from your own photos.

A slice across Emma: her face turned over her shoulder and the flower crown built up in small beads of paint.

Send me a few clear photos and tell me about the person, the mood you are after and the colours you live with. We choose a canvas size together, and I show you the composition before I start painting. The finished portrait is yours to collect, or ask about delivery.

Ask about a portrait

Art is personal, but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

I’ve always been a very creative and curious person, and painting has become one of my favourite ways to express myself, explore new ideas, and simply have fun creating.

I’m naturally someone who likes to try new things, follow my curiosity, and see where an idea takes me, which probably explains why my work can be quite different from one painting to the next.

I currently work mainly with acrylic paint on canvas, and I’m constantly experimenting, learning, and developing my own style along the way. I don’t believe I have everything figured out yet (and honestly, I don’t think I want to!), because discovering what feels truly ‘me’ is part of the fun.

For me, art is personal, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. I love the thought that someone can look at one of my paintings and see something completely different from what I saw when I created it.
