MIKE GINN is a watercolour artist, calligrapher and cartoonist. He is the illustrator of books and botanical articles and holder of a number of one-man art exhibitions.

He offers you the opportunity of buying his paintings of your children, pets, horses, residence, farm or, indeed, any other subject you would like translated into a watercolour painting. He generally works from photographs, which he prefers to take himself, but can also use your older prints should you want an historical painting or portrait.

You can also commission calligraphic works to honour people in your working or social life, poems, prose or any other written work, which can be plain or rubricated (coloured in traditional red), engrossed (decorated with suitable art) and gilded (raised and coloured with real 24 carat gold). This work is carried out on hand-made vegetable parchment or acid free watercolour paper.

Paintings and calligraphy range in price from R1,500.00 to R10,000.00 (unframed) and he offers to help you with framing and presentation decisions, should you so desire.
