Pregnancy commissions
“Oh my god! I have tears in my eyes haha, I have never loved seeing my body pregnant so much. I struggled so much with pregnancy and body image afterwards but this just makes me want to hug myself.”
Unique commissioned artworks honouring the beauty of pregnancy and family moments.
Working from a photograph, I craft expressive, gestural drawings, predominantly working in charcoal. I love capturing the quiet strength, glow and bond between mother and baby during pregnancy as well as special family moments post birth.

THE ARTISTIC PROCESS
Once I have a good understanding of your brief, I’ll get creating! You can expect my artistic style to interpret your brief in a way that allows my creativity to flow naturally (especially for Take One).
TAKE ONE
I’ll create 1-3 works based on your brief. If you love one, it moves to framing (if chosen), packaging and postage.
TAKE TWO
If needed, with your feedback and more direction, I’ll create a second round of 1-3 works or edit Take One works where possible.
TIME
I’ll aim to have Take One works to you within a week upon receiving your brief and deposit. Allow another week for Take Two. If you’ve got a deadline, I can do my best to work towards this for you.
POSTAGE
Unframed works are posted flat to ensure the work doesn’t roll or get damaged. Framed works are carefully packaged to ensure they get to you safe and sound. All postage is signature required.
PRICING
A2 (420 x 594mm) - $450
A1 (594 x 841mm) - $550
A 50% non-refundable deposit to begin the process, with the remaining to be paid upon completion and both parties satisfied.
FRAMING
Frames are built with love by me, from machining the timber to cutting the glass and assembly, all to ensure you get the best. Timber of your choice of natural/dark/white or black, fitted with specific 99% art glass. If you’ve chosen framing with your commission, your work will come framed all ready to hang on your wall.

“I couldn’t be happier with the beautiful maternity sketch Eve created for me.
I wasn’t looking forward to taking photos of myself heavily pregnant, but from the very beginning, Eve made the entire process incredibly smooth and stress-free. She was warm, supportive, and provided guidance at every step.
Eve genuinely cared about making the piece perfect. For the finished sketch, I was able to choose the style of sketch I wanted and Eve helped me choose the best elements from a few different photos to make the perfect sketch that also incorporates my son.
The result was beyond anything I expected — a beautiful and personal piece that I treasure.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Eve to anyone looking to capture their pregnancy in a unique way. ”
“I have recently had the pleasure of working with Eve for my second and third commissions, capturing both my pregnancy’s and newborn phase of my second child.
The way Eve creates art from the photos I’ve provided is truely amazing and helped me have a deeper appreciation of my body for growing my beautiful children. I treasure the art Eve has done for me and look at it fondly,in a different way to that of a photo. They hang proudly on my wall and will be loved forever.
Eve is highly professional and efficient and has great communication. She also has such a kind manner which puts me at ease when sending such intimate images for her to work off.”
“Eve was amazing to work with—sending photos felt a bit nerve-wracking at first, but she was super supportive. I was worried if I would like the drawings because the photos felt horrendous, but they were all stunning. The style is so modern and cool, it doesn’t even feel like it’s me! 10/10 recommend (can’t wait to show the grandkids one day and say, “That’s me!”).”
“We recently commissioned a charcoal sketch of our children from the incredibly talented Eve, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the result.
Working from a single photo, Eve captured the children perfectly. Her professionalism and clear communication made the entire process smooth and enjoyable.
The finished piece now hangs proudly in our home, and it brings a smile to our faces every time we pass by. We’re so grateful to Eve for creating something so meaningful and timeless for our family.
We can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a beautifully personal and heartfelt piece of art.”
