    Beautiful work and great service! I ordered a custom drawing of our pets for my husband, and the final artwork captured our fur babies better than I could have imagined. Char made the entire process fun and effortless. The final print arrived in perfect condition (we’re based in America) and now hangs in the center of our house. We love it!

    I loved Char’s style and wanted a kingfisher tattoo so I asked her to design it for me. She consulted and kept me updated through different stages of the process to ensure it was what I wanted. I was so happy with the final result I had it put on my body permanently.

    I commissioned a picture for a close friend’s special birthday. We spent time talking about what she’s like, her likes, what’s special to her, quirks and looked at photos I had. She really listens and asked key questions and what she created was wonderful! It absolutely captures my friend and the essence of her. She and her family were blown away! Char is so talented!

    I’ve ordered two commissions through Art Works by Char and was incredibly impressed by the time, effort and care that went into both of them. The first was an illustration of my in law’s beloved dogs with a holiday twist - it’s now hung up pride of place in their snug and gets smiles out of everyone who see it. The second was a bespoke illustration for the front of my wedding order of service, which was the perfect personal touch for our day.

    I have ordered a couple of bespoke items from Char and they never disappoint. I love the detail in her work and the sense of character she manages to bring out in each piece is brilliant. One of my orders was a bespoke map of my wife’s home town in Ireland. From the details I gave Char, she was able to produce something truly unique and personal. If you are looking for a personalised gift, Char is the person to go to!

    What great creative talent!
    I had a bag of concert, theatre and festival tickets so I commissioned Char to create an artwork. She really listened and captured the vision I had. The result - I love It!The way she has arranged them is just right and used the wrist bands as a border. It looks great.
    I will be commissioning another art work.

    I commissioned Charlotte to copy and enhance a photo of my children. Charlotte listened carefully to what I wanted, making suggestions about colours and asking about the level of detail I wanted. The final product was beyond what I expected. Charlotte captured the happiness from the photo and enhanced it with a colourful, varied bower, as I’d requested. The picture was a gift for my mother in law who was thrilled and fortunately Charlotte had a copy of the picture made so I could also give it to my mum. I would highly recommend Charlotte and will not hesitate to commission her again.
