Surrealist family portrait by Lauren Harle in Melbourne

I’m a portrait artist specialising in custom paintings from photographs. I create detailed, hand-painted pieces that capture both likeness and feeling, turning your photos into meaningful works of art. I enjoy experimenting with composition, but capturing the true likeness of each subject is always at the heart of my work. My graphite sketch portraits typically take anywhere from a couple of days to one to two weeks to complete, depending on size, while oil portraits can take up to a month, depending on size and complexity. I’m friendly, collaborative, and always eager to create a piece that brings your vision to life.
