Introduction

A commissioned portrait is a deeply personal work of art. It captures not only the likeness of an individual, but the presence, character and story that make them who they are.
Tanya Borg specialises in charcoal portraiture that honours the resilience, courage and lived experiences of her subjects. Each portrait is approached with care, respect and close attention to the unique story behind the face.
Portrait commissions are created for individuals, families and organisations who wish to preserve an important person, moment or legacy through fine art.

Reference Photography – High-quality photos provided by the client or arranged via a session.
