Custom Architectural Portraits & House Paintings

Capture the story of your home or business with a hand-painted commission.

"
I understand a building is more than just a structure, it is where memories are made and milestones are reached. Whether it is the home you grew up in, your very first apartment or the storefront of a business you’ve built from the ground up, I create custom architectural illustrations that honor those spaces, offering both traditional watercolor paintings and hand-painted digital illustrations. My goal is to provide a sincere, detailed representation of your property that serves as a last keepsake or a meaningful gift for a loved one.

 Choose Your Favorite Medium

If you can’t decide which medium is best for your project, feel free to get in touch

Traditional Watercolor Painting on Paper

___

The timeless choice for a one-of-a-kind physical heirloom.

Experience the tactile beauty of hand-painted watercolor art. Each piece is created using artist-grade watercolor paints on professional-quality, heavyweight paper.

You will receive the original physical painting, making it s singular work of art that can be framed and passed down through generations.

Best for: Meaningful gifts (wedding, anniversaries, housewarming), personal keepsakes and those who appreciate the subtle “imperfections” and character of hand-painted art.

Hand-painted Digital Illustration

___

The versatile choice for modern use and multiple prints.

For a modern touch, I offer digital architectural art painted by hand on a tablet. This medium allows for vibrant details and versatile use.

You will receive a high-resolution digital file. You have the freedom to print it yourself as many times as you like on canvas, greeting cards or even large-scale posters. This is a wonderful choice for those looking to avoid the logistics and cost of international shipping or the wait times of traditional post.

Best for: Social media sharing, branding/logos, realtor closing gifts or clients who want to use the artwork across various formats.

My Commission Process

1

The Sketch

I’ll send an initial pencil or digital sketch for your review. You can suggest any adjustments to the composition or details at this stage.
2

Inking or Line Art

Once the sketch is approved, I move on to the inking (or final line art for digital projects). Please note: No changes or refunds are available after this stage. I’ll send you an update once this is complete.
3

Coloring and Delivery

I complete the painting with colours and textures. Watercolor originals are posted in rigid mailers; digital commissions are delivered directly to your inbox.

Promotional Use

I may share progress shots or the finished artwork on my social media or portfolio. To ensure surprises aren’t spoiled, nothing will be published until after the project is completed and delivered. If you would prefer your commission to remain private, just let me know; I will always respect your wishes.
