“Five out of five stars! Elysia goes beyond a photo and really captures the person as you would see them right in front of you. So often I have taken a picture and immediately say “that doesn’t do it justice” but she paints pictures in a way that does. It shows the personality and the emotion in the moment. Definitely worth every cent!! I would commission her again and again and will for the next big event I want captured in a deeper way!”

“I recently commissioned a painting of my late grandfather after seeing other pieces of artwork on Elysia’s social media platforms. She recommended a size for the painting to encapsulate the image in the best possible light. We are all thrilled with the final result.
The process was effortless, Elysia is a dream to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Elysia is a dream to work with. She is clear and upfront with all of her pricing and timeframes. She kept us up to date with progress and pictures. She is also very sensitive to privacy and obtained my permission before posting anything. This commission was for my mother who got married late in life and she was thrilled. It hangs in her living room and I always have a smile when I visit and see it. I would absolutely work with her again because she is an amazing artist and she is a good business person too.”

“I commissioned a painting of my children, and working with Elysia was fantastic! She was professional, very easy to work with, responded quickly, and kept me informed throughout the entire process.

“I took some time to find someone whose work I really liked, with the potential to realize a portrait that would give an interpretation of the person as she sees them. I have no doubt that I found the right person!
I am completely thrilled with the painting Elysia has finished, and she has created a portrait with the image of how I see myself. No photograph could do that!
From day one, Elysia was professional and informative in her approach. She patiently gave plenty of time to find and take the right range of photographs that would enable her to start her work. She made informed and helpful suggestions for alterations, or changes in emphasis and listened carefully to the choices I made, and the detail of my aspirations for the finished article. And, at each stage, she contacted me to show me the work and discuss the stage that she was at.
My family are delighted with the finished portrait and agree that Elysia has “captured” the essence of whom I am. Finally, the best part of this was to meet Elysia herself and confirm our impression of a thoroughly nice and decent person, and talented professional too. Thank you.”

“I searched high and low for months trying to find the right artist to help me bring a photo to life as a gift for my friend and his family. Somehow Elysia from North Wales appeared in my social media feed one day (I live in Portland, OR USA), and I reached out.
I spoke with her for a few weeks about the photograph, my vision, her thoughts and capabilities. I determined that she was not only incredibly passionate about her work, but honest and the right artist for this project.
Throughout the process she sent me updates and images and in the end, she not only shared the masterpiece but, also sent me a really touching video that showed her progress from start to finish.
I would recommend her to anyone looking for something special and, the best part is how much my friend loved it!”

“This has been my first time commissioning a painting and I am extremely pleased with how it turned out. Elysia created a painting of my mum and late grandmother that is absolutely stunning.
Elysia was very patient during the whole process, especially whilst we discussed commissioning the piece; ensuring every detail was covered and I was 100% happy before she started painting.
Once the painting arrived, my mum and I were in awe at the beautiful piece we received. Elysia managed to capture their expressions perfectly and honour my grandmother with her amazing talent. My mum and I can’t thank her enough for this painting – her work is truly magical.
I would highly recommend commissioning Elysia; she is extremely kind, patient and creates stunning pieces of art. Thank you so much!”

I am so glad to be one of Elysia’s followers and to see how successful she will become. We will be cheering her on for years to come!”

“I saw Elysia’s artwork process on TikTok and loved her style, especially the undertones and light she captures in her paintings. I knew I had to have one! Emailing across the Atlantic, we coordinated and she helped me pick the photo that would work best. The entire process was easy and her communication was excellent, especially educating me about the lengthy drying time of oil paints and estimated shipping date.”

“Having never commissioned a painting before, I wasn’t sure of the process or what to expect. From my initial contact with Elysia, I was comfortable from the beginning. Elysia was open and honest from the get go about timescales and costings and, when she started my painting, she gave me updates throughout to make sure I was happy or if I felt any changes were needed. I couldn’t be happier with the finished painting – Thank you, Elysia!”

“Elysia’s work initially caught our eye when we saw one of her first paintings of the Savoy Hotel, and we loved it! We have since commissioned three paintings which hang proudly in our house. Elysia is an absolute talent. She’s such a pleasure and so brilliant to deal with, and we are so, so pleased with our paintings! They will be with us forever, thank you!”

“Elysia is an exceptionally gifted young artist. I gave her a photograph and she gave me a memory. Her attention to detail is outstanding: the painting was everything I hoped it would be and more. I cannot recommend her work highly enough.”

“Elysia has managed to exactly capture my wife’s likeness from a photo and portray her smiling face just as it is. Somehow, the portrait is a living thing, and has so much more presence than a photo. The family are delighted, it makes me smile each time I see it, and I have no doubt that the portrait will be a family heirloom. The hardest thing was choosing which photo to use as a basis for the portrait, but Elysia gave good advice in that respect. The commissioning process was very straightforward; the painting was not rushed, and I was given the opportunity to review it after completion. But I did not need to suggest any amendments – it was spot on!”

Illustrated Colouring Book, 2020
“We were very impressed with Elysia’s tenacity and creativity during lockdown as she proposed several ideas to us over a period of a few weeks. Her sample illustrations really caught the eye of our marketing team and we decided to commission her to work with us on our first ever colouring book – which were handed out to over 8,000 children as a Christmas gift.
We found her a delight to work with, efficient in meeting deadlines and open to change and ideas. This was not a simple project – the goalposts had to change several times due to Covid restrictions, but Elysia unwaveringly kept her cool and delivered every deadline.
We are overjoyed with the final result and have had many compliments already about the quality of it. In fact, we are so impressed now we have seen it in person that we are ordering more for our gift shop in the new year, and plan to continue our relationship with her to develop a coordinating range of merchandise.
We are also the host farm for Channel 5 TV Shows Springtime on the Farm, This Week on the Farm, Friday on the Farm and Christmas on the Farm. Elysia’s work will be seen by almost 20,000 visitors and displayed to our social media channels which get over six million views per month.”

“Elysia recently completed a fabulous oil painting of my son’s favourite cricketer, Ollie Pope. I couldn’t believe my luck when I discovered such a talented artist who produced wonderful pieces of sports artwork! Elysia was so lovely to work with and kept us regularly updated throughout the entire process. We were over the moon with the end result and my son couldn’t have been more pleased! I would highly recommend Elysia, particularly for any parents with sports-mad children!”

“I am absolutely overjoyed with Elysia’s work. Not only was she able to get an incredible likeness working entirely from photographs, but she really managed to capture the personality and character of my dad. I love how it is real and lifelike and yet still retains a painterly quality. You can tell Elysia enjoyed the process of mixing up skin tones and blending colour in a loose way, but she has still retained the accuracy, detail and technical skill in order for it to be such a terrific portrait and on such a large scale.”
