This web site is a showcase for the Society, containing within the members section, examples of artists works and their resumés.
We hope you will enjoy exploring the richness and diversity of styles of our members, and may even be inspired to commission a work yourself.
If you would like to contact individual artists directly, use the links at the top of members' personal pages for further advice.
Finally, if you are a portrait artist looking to develop your career, you may wish to enter one of the annual competitions we run. Details of these are in the prizes section.
