My company has ordered June’s desk calendars for our customers for the past few years and they are always popular and appreciated. To mark my friend’s 50th birthday, our group of friends, which would usually have been playing cricket, came together to play croquet. I commissioned June to produce a photographic album and paint a watercolor of us playing and I’m delighted with the results.

Claire Valentine

I should like to say a big thank you for the brilliantly commissioned painting June was asked to produce to celebrate my retirement from Marsh in October 2022. It encapsulated the somewhat eclectic plans I had for my retirement, many of which are now being realised. I have shown the painting to friends and family with great pride as you have me down to a tee! I will treasure it as a lovely gift from my work family at Marsh.

I commissioned June to paint 3 watercolours for me on separate occasions One of animals and two portraits She worked with the photos I sent her and she was able to capture a true likeness enhancing the paintings with her vibrant paint colours. A fantastic unique personalised gift loved by those who received them.

Natali and Eric Churet

June painted our daughter with her dog (a golden retriever). She captured the soul and personality of both extremely well, along with the closeness of the relationship between the two of them. It exceeded our expectations. June did not just take a photo and reproduce it, she spent time looking at many photos to truly understand the characters and extract the right vibe. Beautiful work. Thank you very much.”

S. Watts

I wanted to buy my father something different for fathers day. I’d seen June draw something comparable before, and I wanted a similar drawing of my father. I was really pleased with the finished result. Not only was it an excellent likeness, June managed to squeeze it in and turn it around in an amazing 2 days. Thanks you so much.

I commissioned June to paint a special artwork for my parent’s 65th Anniversary on Christmas eve. Dad was in hospital very poorly at the time. Fortunately he was out of hospital 2 weeks before his anniversary although confined to bed. Dad had been an artist himself and said that June was very talented. Mum was pleased as she said June made her look younger than she was. I thought the portraits looked true to life. They were over the moon. The painting is even more special now as Dad sadly passed away just one week after receiving it.

Carole & David Tutt

We were deeply touched and over moon with our beautiful painting. It was given to us as a joint Mother’s and Fathers day gift by our children, who commissioned June to paint it especially. The painting is filled with cherished details of our family life which makes it all the more special. It will be treasured and has pride of place in our home.

Debbie Sweenie

After seeing a recent beautiful painting by June produced for someone else, I made contact and asked for her to paint 2 very personal pictures of my late partner who sadly passed away in June. We always walked along Richmond Riverside, I would always take photos of him that are now so precious. I literally burst into tears when I first saw the paintings! June has captured the real emotion and surroundings. I am totally blown away. They have pride of place in my home.

Rosanne Capper

June completed a wonderful wedding gift for me to give our husband just before we got married in Italy. Having also got engaged in Tuscany, June created a beautiful collage of images of the difference places we had been and perfectly placed them together to create one cohesive piece of art work that perfectly captured the memories from a beautiful country. My husband was delighted with the gift and it brings a smile to our faces every time we look at it hanging perfectly in our bedroom. 

Donna Burns

I have known June for 30 years and have seen her artistic skills grow to an amazing level. June produces phenomenal and diverse artwork, not only the recent photo of Max but stationery and wedding material. She is extremely personable, flexible and that coupled with her unique skills make it easy and pleasurable to work with her on your requirements. I wouldn’t go anywhere else ! 

Clare Anderton

June painted a picture of my dog Marty for a Christmas present from my son. My son sent several pictures for June to choose from and as you can see captured Marty perfectly. It is one of my favourite presents. June is such a talented and creative artist , and would definitely recommend her to friends and family, in fact she is commissioned to paint another dog for a member of my families birthday.

S. Caomhanach

I contacted June to see if it was possible to paint these for us. I gave her photographs of the various stages of our most incredible love affair and she has captured each and every moment with incredible precision. She spent time speaking with me, finding out a little about us and the story behind each painting. If there is as special moment that you would like to keep as a memory then June will do this perfectly. Thank you.

Carole Tutt

I want to thank my wonderful children, for commissioning June to paint this realistic 80s portrait of my immediate family for my 80th birthday. I take great pleasure in looking at it every day. Thank you so much June.

Sandy Hurford

June, I am still in awe of the painting you did for me of my daughter and my dog, and I cannot stop looking at it. What a wonderful talent you have. I am so lucky to have come across someone like you and will highly recommend your work to others. Thank you for making me very happy. I sure I’ll be in touch again for another commissioned painting.

Mike Barnes

June is a very talented artist who works in a variety of media. Her portraits capture more than just a likeness, she finds a connection with her subject. I am thrilled with her portraits of my sons, Matthew and Leo.

Anna Hazell

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the painting June did as a Christmas present of our family dog Koko. It’s absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t of asked anyone else for something more special. I will definitely be back in the future for another painting!

I contacted June after we received a charity calendar which included a fabulous portrait of our goose Henrietta. We have a special dog called Ziggy who is now 11 years old and going grey and who has been a big part of the children’s lives as they have grown up. We thought a portrait of our beloved Ziggy would be a great demonstration of what he means to our family and something we could cherish.

We forwarded June a few of our favourite photos and were delighted to receive a fantastic painting which depicts his character completely in the familiar way he stands and the big innocent eyes we know so well!!! – it was a perfect capture of his personality and the painting will be loved by us all and offer memories for many years to come.

Anamaria Lo Chung Hin

We asked June to paint a watercolour of the front of our cafe. We were blown away at how bright and cheery and how her chosen frame enhanced the painting perfectly. She produced it with a quick turnaround time for the reopening of our cafe. We love it so much we’re going to request watercolour painted portraits commissions of our children.

Paul Thorburn

I buy June”s watercolour desk calendars every year as socking fillers for my family. I went on to purchase a couple of her original watercolour paintings because I liked the style in which she paints.

Whilst on holiday in Alvor, Portugal in 2017, I took a photo of my fiancé sat In front of the harbour at sunset. I thought this would be brilliant to re-create as a watercolour for our first (paper) wedding anniversary.

I sent the photo to June for her to interpret into her style and the result was beyond what I had expected.

I could not recommend June highly enough, she has a way of turning whatever you give her into something quite unique. June produced a bespoke painting which my wife was delighted to receive for our 1st wedding anniversary.

Linda & Tim McKenzie

Having known June as a family friend and a very accomplished Artist for some time; our daughters commissioned a set of watercolours for my 50th birthday; we were extremely confident and excited to commission a large acrylic montage in our new apartment in Northern Cyprus. Northern Cyprus is steeped in history and we were able to provide June with copious photographs and memories of our previous visits. June has provided us with a “work of art” that has exceeded our expectations. It is admired and complimented on by all of our friends and visitors but most of all it is a testimony to her artistic talent and her complete understanding of precisely what we asked her to create, a true understanding of our desires for the commission, we are thrilled.

We already have in place our plans for our next commission. This time a watercolour. We cannot wait.

Hamish Roberts

I approached June to draw me a small, but humorous picture for a great friend of mine’s birthday. A difficult brief, as June didn’t really know my friend… but between us we came up with the idea of drawing Katherine doing one of her favourite things, running with her dog tied to her waist! Katherine was stunned and flattered by the result. June captured the drama and humour of her dog bolting through the hedge when spotting a squirrel! An action shot in watercolour!

J. Carroll

As a thank you and for my friends impending 60th birthday, I asked June if she could paint their villa as a gift.  

After taking a few photos she produced this wonderful acrylic painting, all delivered on time. My friends couldn’t believe it, and were truly surprised when opening it, especially the attention to detail and the beautiful colour of the bougainvillea. A very special painting for some very special friends. Thank you June such a great talent. 

Greg Davies

Because I head up BNI in South East London, a collection of networking groups that encourage local businesses to work together, I am often spoilt for choice when it comes to gift ideas. My members offer some of the highest quality products, at the best prices, giving me a wealth of spending opportunities.

To tell you then, that when I saw June’s work, I “HAD TO” commission her, gives you an insight to the brilliance of her talent.

Offering her a mismatched collection of hastily taken photographs and a tight turnaround, June delivered a unique & moving gift that’s impact will have a longevity outlasting the lifespan of its subjects. In a 2 dimensional medium, June has somehow manged to create a 4 dimensional work, not only capturing the look of our dogs, but also the depth of character and personality of Lady, Belle & Raya.

This piece was a gift for my partner who will cherish it for eternity.

What do you get the person who has everything? You get them a piece of original artwork by June that cannot be found anywhere else.

Gill Howe, Westerham

I asked June to paint our dog Hudson for a Christmas present for my husband. I gave her a number of photos of Hudson and she has managed to capture him wonderfully well in the painting she did of him. My husband was delighted with his surprise.

S. Murphy

I wanted a really special painting done for my partner as an engagement gift. He proposed outside St Paul’s Cathedral, which is where we stopped on a beautiful day on one of our first dates in London. I had a really clear idea of what I wanted but wasn’t entirely sure it would materialise how I imagined. I sent June just a couple of photo ideas and we discussed some of the detail – she absolutely captured the whole look and feel that I wanted. It is an absolutely beautiful painting that takes pride of place in our home and made a grown man very emotional when he unwrapped it. Perfect!”

Taylor Drayson

I asked June to paint a photo of a pub that a good friend of mine had recently taken over and as a thank thank you for all his help with other things I wanted to give him a wondeful painting that he could hang in the pub once they opened after lockdown. He absolutely loved it and was very thankful.

Maggie Hart

June created a wonderful painting for our friends whom were moving away, we wanted a special present to give to them as a lasting memory of where they lived. After sending photosand discussion on angles of the front of their house, we agreed on the perfect view.

June delivered the picture in good time for the party, the picture was more than I could have hoped for.

June has a lovely unique style, creating a wonderful image of the house. When our friends unwrapped the picture they were visibly surprised and emotional. They have informed us that the picture was the first thing that they put up in their new home.

Rob Williams

I contacted June after receiving a calendar she created for a charity event at work. I was amazed at the detail on every months picture and asked if she could create a picture of our two cats.

We provided some photos of both cats and June managed to capture them so well. We can see their character in each picture.

June kept me updated throughout the process and when we received the pictures via Royal Mail, they were packaged extremely well to ensure no damage in transit.

My friends and family have not seen the pictures yet (this was posted during the Covid-19 lockdown period) but when they do I know they will be asking June to paint their animals.

Thank you June.

Wendy Prichard Smith

What do you buy that special friend that has everything? Simple, something bespoke, that will mean everything and create a visual lasting memory. That’s when I knew that June Lloyd was the one to deliver exactly what I was looking for. It was simple, search out a few clear pictures of my friends beloved cats and let June do her magic – and she did…..
The picture was stunning and my friend over joyed. Not only did June replicate the picture perfectly but my friend said she had captured the personalty of each cat within the art work. I would without hesitation recommend this artist, her work is unique and she has a gift to deliver magic!

Archie MacPherson

When I received my painting on Christmas Day I was thrilled. It reminded me of so many memories I have made whilst playing cricket. It’s a remarkable, memorable gift that I will treasure forever. I have it close to me in my bedroom, making me happy every day.
