The artist can undertake portraits on commission. He mainly works with children and places them in paintings rather than conventional portraits. The idea for this is that you get two paintings, one of the child commissioned and a separate painting which the child inhabits. There are many ways in which this can be undertaken from diptychs to opening panels.

In the painting Michelle the idea was to have her standing in front of her own portrait in which the coming events in her life have yet to be fulfilled. Emma was painted on an opening panel revealing her appearing out of a landscape, at either side cut out of the hedges are profiles of the parents.

A moment in time was commissioned for three children. The concept of the painting was to have each child supporting themselves in blocks of their own worlds. Also, to put behind them, the landscape from the country in which they were born, one in Istanbul, another in England and the third in New York. Also incorporated at the bottom of the plinth were objects from the parents travels forming a connection with the children but not directly related. There is also a clock, which was given to each child to celebrate the year 2000 which operates as a central point on the top of the plinth. Also in the picture is a Childs dolls house disguised as a building in New York. In the centre block the youngest child suspends herself in another universe floating above mountains, from her hands rainbows shower down enclosing her lower self, other rainbows bend and hold the blocks of her brother and sister suspending them in the air. Rainbows form arches above holding a half moon. Behind are trees with full moon behind, the rainbows forming barriers and bonds with her brother and sister. Underneath the clock, common to all, comes up to midnight.
