Framed Art

Made in Manchester, Shared Everywhere.

 

"My limited edition photo-collage artworks explore landscapes and cityscapes with rich character and layered histories. From the dramatic scenery of the Scottish landscape and historic streets of Edinburgh, through the urban energy of Manchester artwork and London prints, to iconic destinations like Paris wall art and New York prints, each piece tells a story. Every composition is built from carefully layered photographs, capturing not just the look of a place but its atmosphere and spirit.

Produced in small, collectible editions, each artwork is individually hand-finished and presented in a bespoke timber frame crafted in my Chorlton art studio. The result is a piece of contemporary wall art that combines modern design with traditional craftsmanship, offering timeless artworks for homes, offices, and collectors."

Your Story, Beautifully Told in Art.

To me, a wedding day is filled with fleeting moments — laughter, emotion, and detail — all of which deserve to be remembered through art. My wedding photo-collages transform these moments into one composition, layering photography and symbolic elements to tell the story of the day. Each piece begins with a personal consultation, where I learn about the couple’s story and the details they’d like included. From there, I create a bespoke art commission that captures not only how the day looked but how it felt. Every wedding artwork is produced as a signed fine art print, hand-finished, and displayed in a bespoke timber frame crafted in my Manchester studio — a timeless piece of framed art to be treasured for generations.

Fine Art, Made Personally for You.

 

"At House of Bystander Gallery in Manchester, you can transform any piece from my catalogue into a personalised artwork. For a small design fee, I offer a bespoke art service where up to five carefully chosen details can be added into an existing artwork — including names, dates, places, or symbolic elements that hold personal meaning. This turns a print from the collection into a customised fine art commission, tailored to you while preserving the integrity of the original design. Each piece can also be presented as a framed print, crafted in my Chorlton studio."

Framed Memories, Finished to Perfection.

 

"In my Manchester picture framing workshop, every frame is individually handcrafted to enhance and protect the artwork it holds. Using traditional framing techniques, museum-quality materials, and a meticulous, hands-on approach, I ensure your prints, photographs, or keepsakes are displayed beautifully and preserved for generations.

Each bespoke frame is carefully designed to suit both modern and traditional interiors — from clean, contemporary lines for minimalist spaces to refined finishes that complement classic décor. Whether you’re looking for custom framing in Chorlton, framed prints for your living room, or professional picture framers near you, the result is always a timeless piece that feels perfectly at home, whether in a sleek city apartment or a cosy period home."

Memories That Hang with Meaning.

 

For commercial and corporate clients, I create bespoke photo-collage artworks that embody the identity, heritage, and values of a business or place. Each art commission begins with research and consultation to understand the story being told — whether it’s celebrating company history, capturing the spirit of a location, or marking a milestone achievement.

Every artwork is composed from layered photography, hand-finished, and presented in a bespoke timber frame, offering a balance of contemporary design and timeless craftsmanship. These framed artworks bring character and presence to offices, reception areas, boardrooms, and public spaces, while serving as lasting visual statements that reflect the story of an organisation.
