Guy hawson, artist

We have been commissioning Guy for years, with a series of paintings for us on fruit and vegetables. Being a chef these really carry this theme through my house. They are beautiful and are always commented by new visitors. I have recommended him to other friends who now also display his work in their homes.

Such beautiful work in my daughter's room. A trompe L'oeil sky with a unicorn and a hot air balloon. It's what childhood memories are made from

I'm a photographer and Guy Hawson, who happens to be my brother, recently helped me with a large-scale, over-sized illustration I needed for a job I was working on. Despite the fact I've known him all my life and have seen hundreds of examples of his work, he never ceases to amaze me with his skill, talent and professional attitude. He's a true artist, someone capable of painting or illustrating pretty much anything a client requires. I am a huge fan and recommend him highly. (And to top it off, he's also an incredibly good person with a great sense of humour - a bonus on any job!) Louise Hawson, photographer, 52suburbs.com
