Russ & Sons
14 July 2023
My client Poppy commissioned this pastel portrait of her partner and two sons for father's day, we used different photos of her son to create a more pleasing composition and it turned out wonderfully!
"My darling girlfriend got this Hand drawn with charcoal by Grace Murray-Rowley I honestly cannot get over this ! She put this together from photos that poppy gave her ! Poppy I love you so much and this has proper done me tonight ! Grace thank you so much and I really can’t get it in my head how you do what you do!!!"
Alfie
15 June 2023
My client Katie commissioned this 12x16" in memory of her lovely border collie, Alfie, after very sadly losing him recently. We opted for a scenic background as Alfie loved his walkies. I just loved how his fur flowng in the breeze created atmosphere in this one.
"Hi Grace, Just a note to say that I arrived back from my work trip and have opened Alfie’s portrait. It has completely blown us away and smashed all expectations. Truly beautiful and we’re very happy that he’s home with us again.
Thank you so much - your talent is something quite extraordinary."
Teddy Fox

My client Victoria commissioned this portrait for her husband after losing their beloved cat Mr. Teddy Fox, who lived to the amazing age of 20 years.
"Hey Grace! Louis LOVES Mr Teddy's piece! He got a bit tearful seeing it (in a nice way). He's taken centre piece in our living room. RIP Mr Teddy ❤️ thank you so much Grace, you're unbelievably talented xx"
"Hey Grace, this is Louis, Vic's husband. I wanted to say thank you for my picture of Teddy the cat. It's really beautiful and incredible. Absolutely stunning and thoughtful. I don't understand how a human can do that. Thank you so much."
Wedding Portrait with Grandad
1 May 2023
My client Ashle got in touch with a sentimental request to create a portrait of her Mum's wedding, but to include her Grandad who had very sadly passed. I created a composition using various photos to make this a possibility, and her Mum's reaction was so touching.
